Okay, so the user should not have used a global simplify but instead have
talked to you about why they think the mapping needs simplification.
Fair enough.

Now that we have cleared up this point, could we please talk about your
mapping? Could you please outline your process how exactly you decide
what counts as a landuse=forest and what doesn't? And how exactly do
you determine the forest outline to a precision of 1m. Do you have other
aerial imagery available that gives you better views of the forests than
the Swisstopo Aerials? Because I have a hard time to match the outlines I
see on those photos with the ones you map.
