I know plenty of CS undergrads who have broken the substitution cipher a part of a assignment. Saying it isn't trivial just because you couldn't do it foolish.

Because when a human breaks it by starting with frequency counts and then filling in blanks in words, that's a totally different ball game. Computers can definitely do it, but you need to put in more effort.
