We know entropy != Complexity(1). There's still no satisfactory answer for what complexity is, and the problem is only getting worse I think as more people decide to use the term however they wish. I'm partial to kolmogorov(2).

You're train of thought re. compressibility vs. organization is very in line with kolmogorov's.
