This is the reason I suggest against using the simplify functionality. 
Just because some detail level is not to your liking you sort of "tell 
off" those mappers who invested a lot of time putting that details in 
the first place when deleting it.

There are special situations where it can be useful, but in case of 
"hand-drawn" data mostly it is fine to go forward with a handful of 
additional nodes. And don't worry about the size of the data. Those few 
nodes don't do much harm (we have 4 billions already).
