That seems like a bit of a non sequitur. And in fact to be honest it
risks being simply a cop  out. Being as simple *as possible* is a sign of
enginering and programming excellence. As Fred Brooks said, complexity
is our business. So there's no need to add more of it ourselves.

If that's not the case then here are some suggestions:

a. Remove the documentation. All of it.
b. Remove all the code comments
c. Obfuscate all the lisp
d. Encrypt it
e. Let everyone answer all questions on this list in Esperanto. Do that
until a majority are fluent in that language, then switch to
Aramaic. Then Coptic. Keep changing as long as it takes to ensure that
things are never simple.
