In Italian in 1969, "sofisticato" meant "adulterated".  I'm not sure if
that is still the case.  I think I see what you mean.

But as for "clever", there are shades of meaning there, there's a
clever beyond clever that is what you suggest would discover simplicity.
Arguing around subtleties in different languages is sophistic at best.
