There probably is a good phrase for that, but all I can think of right now is an acronym that you may find useful. It is K.I.S.S., which stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. I'm a long time professional cook, and I learned of this acronym when working on menu designs, the idea being to not make the food item descriptions so wordy that they confused the potential customer. I'm sure computer programmers and software interface designers have heard of this to.
