The ones who say "too hard" are nowhere near so dangerous as the ones who are self-appointed test pilots who "know" that the FM is wrong because of what they can't do and/or what they make of what they have read. Those are the ones who make the demands and who get backed up by unsatisfied... err, players.

But then you maybe don't visit the Zoo?
