My assumption was that converting a polygon into a point will be an 
extremme case of simplification / generalization.

I mean, I suppose that simplification is useful because as the polygon 
have less vertex is less computer-intensive. Following that reasoning, 
computing a point should be less intensive than a polygon with a lot os 
vertex.

Could someone confirm this? If I'm wrong, I'd rather not working on 
generating the points and saving so a lot of time.

Yep, that's very useful, thanks. I've just discovered these days the 
technique explained here:
