> The thing is, you always have to choose one of "simple" or "true".

In most cases you can choose both "simple" and "true", they are not mutually exclusive. However, by choosing "simple" you leave out nuance and depth to what is "true". The issue you are expressing (and is generally being discussed in this thread) only exists because humans created said issue for their own emotional and social reasons, rather than it having any basis in what "true" or "real". I put the words "true", "real", and "simple" in quotes because these are contextual concepts, that don't really exist necessarily in isolation.
