Don't get carried away with Occam. If he saw the simple minded shit posted by Trumpanzees he'd state....that's NOT what I was getting at.

Data science often tackles complex real-world issues, and unlike what Occam's razor suggests, looking for the simplest possible explanations typically leads to false causality.

Controversial aspects

Occam's razor is not an embargo against the positing of any kind of entity, or a recommendation of the simplest theory come what may.[a] Occam's razor is used to adjudicate between theories that have already passed "theoretical scrutiny" tests and are equally well-supported by evidence.

Furthermore, it may be used to prioritize empirical testing between two equally plausible but unequally testable hypotheses; thereby minimizing costs and wastes while increasing chances of falsification of the simpler-to-test hypothesis.[citation needed]
