Complexity means it requires additional things to happen even if you had no evidence.
For example, a more complex hypothesis than “Bob is a human” is “Bob is a human who lives at 123 Fake St.”
Voldemort being called the dark lord is evidence, and learning about new evidence does not itself make a hypothesis more or less complex. It’s just evidence.
You seem to be saying “A is more complex than B means ‘if A then B’ ”, which is not true. The commonly used term for this is “strength”. “Bob is human who lives at 123 Fake St.” is strictly stronger than “Bob is human”.

You’re right. Thanks for the correction!
