Kind of the point, once educated with something far more complicated it becomes simpler because it's the better alternative. But realistically a horse is much easier understand than a car, it's only the surrounding technology that makes the car easier. For example if I send you into the woods with a hatchet, which are you more likely to come back with? A horse or a car?
