* But let's not start rambling in oversimplifications about social conditioning. ❋ Unknown (2005)
Of course, these labels of "insider" and "outsider" are oversimplifications, as are all labels. ❋ Paul Golin (2010)

It's to help people realize the complex, and sometimes contradictory roles played by the media in these situations -- that their work is essential in getting the story out, but short deadlines and shallow reporting can sometimes reinforce unhelpful stereotypes and oversimplifications of the situation. ❋ Amanda Lin Costa (2010)
This is a non-sequitur; one can have ambitions, an ardent desire for rank, and power, but seldom is this reconcilable with balanced budgets and realist foreign policies; after all, ambitions in a democracy need to be fuelled by oversimplifications and often alarmist statements, which lead the country "abroad, in search of monsters to destroy," to quote John Quincy Adams. ❋ Franz-Stefan Gady (2011)
Although I think Mark Lynas has made some sweeping oversimplifications in his post, I have to warm to the guy for concluding thus: Having said all that, I am acutely aware that I am not a qualified expert in my own right, and that I need to tread very carefully when making judgements about work carried out by people who are, after all, the real experts. ❋ Maxine (2009)

Here is a well-meaning government official who so fails to grasp the problem in health care that he can present such absurd oversimplifications and suggest that this sort of thing is the real problem -- doctors simply lack the common sense to make obvious medical decisions. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Despite the gross oversimplifications and one major faux pas [ "... the Soviet economy is proof that, contrary to what many skeptics had earlier believed, a socialist command economy can function and even thrive" (pp. 837)], it's an otherwise excellent treatise. ❋ Unknown (2009)
