There are several synonyms for reductionistic, including simplistic, oversimplified, narrow-minded, myopic, short-sighted, and reductionist. Simplistic and oversimplified suggest that complexity is being ignored in favor of ease of use. Narrow-minded implies that the focus is too narrowly focused, while myopic implies a lack of foresight. Short-sighted emphasizes a lack of consideration for long-term consequences, while reductionist suggests that the approach ignores important contextual information. All of these terms carry different connotations and nuances but are used interchangeably to describe the concept of reductionistic thinking.
