It seems like you imply that iterators = range-for and "simple loops" = indexing, which is clearly not what the previous poster has in mind (which was "range-for = imperative loops, iterators = functional style, simple loops = trivial loop body").

Yes, I was responding to:
> I disagree. If I can avoid an index variable, I’m going to have less bugs since I won’t have to index
Which (given thread context) sounds pretty clearly like he's advocating against `for item in iterator {...}` and in favor of iterator chains. If there's another way of reading that comment, I'm not seeing it. :)
