simplistic
Significado: Treating complex issues or problems as if they were much simpler than they really are; oversimplified.
Simplistic is always pejorative — it criticises something for being insufficiently complex or for ignoring important nuances. It should not be confused with 'simple' (which can be positive, meaning clear or uncomplicated). Simplistic implies a failing in analysis or understanding. It collocates with 'view,' 'analysis,' 'approach,' 'narrative,' and 'explanation.'
