You said:
Now, a five dimensional partition tree using epsilon nets, with associated k-d trees in the nodes, that's a complex datastructure.
Seems arbitrary to me. How about 4 dimensional? Or 3 dimensional using red-black trees? Or AVL trees? Where in particular do you draw the line in the data structure sand that says complex on this side, everything else on that side? I'm not saying that complex data structures don't exist, I'm just wondering about how you distinguish complex from not complex...
