Maybe your prof should tell the millions of programmers using it that they're all kids. If he came to my shop, he'd be laughed all the way back to the top of his ivory tower.

In the meantime, tell him that since he didn't define "complexity" for you, you defined it for him as the total number of lines of code, including white space. You can get that in seconds in any text editor and make a daunting task trivial.
