I agree, and it seems that simple little explanation that people "want a simple understanding" is meant to appeal to the simple-minded folks who have a hard time reconciling things like the melting point of steel, or free fall collapse, or any of the scientific problems of the official story.
People accept the official story because it's nice and simple.
