I think what he meant was more related to the fact that the Sharia is applicable to all types of people
Example: The punishment for theft is cutting off the hand. This punishment can be applied to ANY civilization/group of people, in ANY era of time. Primitive and remote villages can implement this punishment, as can modern day metropolitan areas. Now lets say the Sharia said that that a thief must serve a certain amount of time in prison, and do X hours of community service etc.. Such a punishment could not be implemented by every type of community. So hence the Sharia is simple so that it can be applied to all people of all times
