Script complexity is not so easily quantified. Has anyone tried to sort scripts by complexity? In terms of the present discussion, Han would be viewed as a simple script, and yet it is "simple" only in terms of the script model in which ideographs are the smallest unit. In a stroke-based Han script model, Han is at least as complex as any.
