Thanks for the helpful reply. It taught me 3 things that I didn't know before:
how to use simp_trace_new (though it only works in jEdit and I'm mostly using VSCode, so really I have to use simp_trace instead)
that "simp flip" can invert the direction of a rewrite rule
that when I prove any identity involving an equality, it's best to state it in the direction that is best for rewriting
