Amen. A famous quote about the thought required to simplify and optimize, often 
attributed to Steinbeck (and several others), went something like this (upon 
drafting a letter to a friend):

"Sorry this letter is so long, but I didn't have time to write a shorter one."

GM, especially, needs to write a shorter letter.
