## Abstract (arXiv)

The paper "Is Complexity an Illusion?" (Bennett, 2024) provides a formalism for complexity, learning, inference, and generalization, and introduces a formal definition for a "policy". This reply shows that correct policies do not exist for a simple task of supervised multi-class classification, via mathematical proof and exhaustive search. Implications of this result are discussed, as well as possible responses and amendments to the theory.
