doc: avoid 'simply' (#266434)
While the word 'simply' is usually added to encourage readers, it often has the opposite effect and may even appear condescending, especially when the reader runs into trouble trying to apply the suggestions from the documentation. It is almost always an improvement to simply drop the word from the sentence. (there are more possible improvements like this, we can apply those in separate PRs)
