I believe the idea was already very old even then, dating back to the 1950’s. The early, WWII-generation engineers and audiophiles got a lot right.

On the other hand Richard Feynman, who really did win a Nobel Prize, actually did say, "If you can't explain something in simple terms you don't understand it." https://kottke.org/17/06/if-you-cant-explain-something-in-simple-terms-you-dont-understand-it
