"It's Quite Complicated, You See" is a common phrase used to blow smoke up the listener's arse in the following situations:

You could, of course, dump your dollars and pounds for gold in offshore accounts, but of course it's quite complicated, you see, to understand exactly how it all works.

Things would be a lot better of for all of us if American and Western European workers would be willing to take the same wages as, say, any other freakin' place in the world, but it's quite complicated, you see, to get them all to do that.

When we want to steal people blind with market manipulations, misstated revenues, under-reported expenses, and the like, we just tell them it's quite complicated, you see, far beyond your capability to understand.
