One of the most fundamental definitions of maturity is the ability to handle complexity.
When watching a movie the little boy wants to know: "Who is the goodie and who is the baddie?" Life is simple, the cowboy is good and the crook is bad.
However when you grow up, you watch a history movie and you realize, "there is no simple answer".
You think about the Israel-Palestine crises and realize it is not as simple as saying “Israel is right, the Palestinians are wrong" or visa-versa. You need to grow, mature in your understanding, refine what you believe.
Dumdbing things down does have value, because it offers infants access to basic ideas, but the complexity has to increase if the boy is to become a man.
