You are assuming one specific reading, when there are at least two valid ones. The way I read the comment was basically to say, "Geez, what git calls 'simple' ('push the current branch into the remote branch from which you are pulling, but only if they have the same name. This is supposed to be "more safe" for beginners than the "upstream" mode.') sounds like it would be better-named as 'current'. Isn't this obvious to everyone, including the git developers? Why are these unintuitively named options so frequent in git?"
That said, I disagree with the sentiment, since there is already a 'current' mode to which the 'current' name seems to apply at least equally well.
