In an autocomplete + simplify situation you usually type a little more than the simplified version before autocompleting and then allow the hiding to apply a lossy simplification. E.g. when the simplification is substituting a localization ID with the English text there might be multiple IDs mapped to identical texts and then the difference between the IDs is lost in the simplified representation. Differences which might be important, for example if the IDs are for different semantic concepts that map to separate texts in other languages. These simplifications are valuable because they are allowed to be "leaky", they can make the easy case even more easy by leaving the tough ones to the underlying raw, unsimplified truth.
