Oct 24, 2018 at 12:49 comment added Philippe Gaucher @HarryGindi you wrongly use the feature "@", by not letting the viewer complete the name. Tyler won't be aware of your post in the top part of the window unless he rereads your question.
Oct 24, 2018 at 11:01 comment added Harry Gindi @Tyler Did you mean that the geometric realization of a pushout of a horn inclusion is always simple, rather than all anodynes? Otherwise, this would not produce a counterexample.
Oct 24, 2018 at 10:56 comment added Tyler Lawson When you take the geometric realization of an anodyne extension of simplicial sets, you get what is called a simple homotopy equivalence (more or less by definition). There is an invariant of homotopy equivalences called Whitehead torsion which must vanish for a map $f$ to be homotopic to a simple homotopy equivalence. I'm guessing that you can get a counterexample by taking a homotopy equivalence with nontrivial Whitehead torsion, finding a simplicial model for it, and taking the mapping cylinder to get an inclusion whose realization is a homotopy equivalence not homotopic to a simple one.
