[something] is simplistic
Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse "simplistic" with "simple" and use it as a positive word. However, "simplistic" is almost always negative or critical. Use "simple" or "clear" for a positive meaning (e.g., "a simple explanation"), and "simplistic" only when you want to say it is too simple and misses important things (e.g., "a simplistic explanation").
