Spoken like a Narrator. From the player perspective, use an Extended Contest if you want a better chance at winning (since you can use more HP, and since a single bad roll doesn't screw you). Also, use an Extended Contest if you want go shoot for an extreme result like Complete Victory, because you can drive a foe to -31 with a few decent rolls, rather than hoping for a single good roll vs a bad roll.
It's a sad fact, but Simple Contests are not (mechanically) just a shorter form of an Extended Contest.
