Answer: True

Explanation:Orthogonal instruction set is the set of instruction that can use can use all addressing mode. They have independent working and so instruction can use any register the prefer and this leads to overlapping in instruction and complexity.

When RISC architecture got introduced, it got more preference due to reduced instruction and less complexity as compared to orthogonal instruction. So it not considered elegant to have more orthogonal instruction.
