Occam's razor is neither a principle of logic nor the scientific method. It is used to develop theoretical models, not assign a priori nor a posteriori "knowledge". I fail to see how Occam's razor can "work every time" when it is only used to postulate an assumption. At best, it can only be said that Occam's razor works MOST of the time. Certainly not all things can be explained by their most simple of explanations. Ockham, Aristotle, Aquinas, and Kant would roll over in their graves to hear such a generalized statement as that!!
