This runs counter to my understanding, or else I'm not reading your statement correctly. When a user chooses SimpleStrategy they're saying that the same replication applies to _each DC_ in your cluster, not that _all DC's_ contribute to the total replication. Put another way, my understanding is that if you have SimpleStrategy RF=1 with two data centers, you have two copies of each piece of data - one in each DC.
