"except not at all"

"It's simple, except not at all."

Can somebody help me clarify this?
my best guess is "It's not simple, although I said so."

Out of context it initially looks incorrect. e. the speaker is correcting/contradicting him/herself.

Out of context it initially looks incorrect. It's possible that it's an abbreviated version of something like "It's simple, except that it is not simple at all" -- i.e. the speaker is correcting/contradicting him/herself. More context is needed.
