The simple explanation would be:
I understand Occam's razor is a rule-of-thumb. It is a heuristic guide for hypothesis testing. It is not:
- Irrefutable proof of any argument that seems simpler than others.
- A substitute for logic in any argument you make.
- A substitute for actual scientific results.
In fact, it's probably best I avoid ever citing Occam's razor unless I am damn well sure I know what I am doing with it. Lol!
The reason I cited it is because I was reading about medievil philophers and the school of nominalisim and the minimalist principal and Willliam of Occam as one of its most prolific exponents, and he became involved in a long theological conflict with Pope John XXII
