Answer

The sentence is wrong.

"Everything should BE AS simple as it is, but not simpler"

Answer

A alternate way of saying it would be:
Do not over-complicate things; on the other hand do not over-simplify them.
What he was saying, I think, is that in the effort to simplify things (the laws of physics, the universe) so that we can understand them, we tend to over-simplify and lose some important details.

Answer
