That "Simplify" setting changes nothing that I can see. Here is one of the simplification examples put forth in that article:

As you can clearly see, the Nspire simplifies it down to (sin(x))^2 but the Prime "simplifies" to -(1/2)*COS(2*x)+(1/2).

This is true with the CAS Setting "Simplify" set to None or Minimum or Maximum.

If you can get your Prime to simplify the said expression down to (sin(x))^2 in a single step, please provide the procedure.

Maybe the Prime considers a linear expression simpler than a parabolic one. I might not be using the terminology right but you should get the idea.
