The simplest bubble sort is simpler than the simplest insertion
sort.

The most complete bubble sort is simpler than the most complete
insertion sort.

It is only if we compare a somewhat less complete rendition of
insertion sort to a somewhat more complete rendition of bubble
sort that "insertion sort" may be called simpler.

I agree that insertion sort is a better choice than bubble sort
in almost all cases, but saying insertion sort is simpler than
bubble sort is an apples-and-oranges comparison.
