Usage: { Simple}, { Silly}. One who is simple is sincere, unaffected, and inexperienced in duplicity, -- hence liable to be duped.

[ 1913 Webster] He is the companion of the silliest people in their most silly pleasure; he is ready for every impertinent entertainment and diversion. -- Law. [ 1913 Webster]
