the warnings are builtin, don't understand how you can do big damage.
the default for simplify is aggressive but everyone able to download a  
plugin will also watch the change when done the first time.  I  
considered to file a ticket for the default value but didn't see a  
need. I don't think newbies use this function a lot but I might be  
completely wrong.
