That's where the saying "don't make an issue of persons, matters, or things" comes up. Don't make an issue, the situation would resolve itself. Meaning give it enough time and people will forget.
Talking about it being too basic. Well, when the focus in the recovery is to be filled up with knowledge, the yeah. It would be too basic.
