"There is a natural and unavoidable balancing act in all RPG Systems that must be struck between simplicity and realism; the more of one, the less of the other. So sometimes the GM must make a judgment call between the two, by either using a more complex rule to handle a specific exception, which would lead to a possibly slower game, or keeping the rules simple and using the techniques of Retrofitting and GM Adjudication to maintain the simplicity. When creating new rules I try to maintain the balance between simplicity and realism, however, my guiding principal is this: When in doubt, keep it simple."
