simplistically
In oversimplified fashion
In a manner that oversimplifies, ignoring important complexities or nuances: To put it simplistically, you spend more than you earn.
The word carries a note of criticism—what's presented simplistically leaves out details that matter.
Compare with *simply*, which doesn't carry the same negative connotation.
