I think it says "simple" as due to not discourage the reader, 'cause it's probably a simple substitution in context which just looks complicated at first glance.

[rant] . All authors that often say things like : "we can simply do this or that" ... for me, is dismissive humble bragging. And, if they really wanted to encourage readers they would say : "in the following equation we used substitution" ... something descriptive.

Every time we study a new subject it is always difficult at first and seeing someone bragging, saying it is simple for them, is never encouraging.
