This razor's not for shaving


Occam's Razor, attributed to a 14th century English Franciscan Friar states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. The principle is often expressed in latin as:

entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem,

which translates to:

entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity.
Listening to the morning political shows often makes me want to quote this principal. Blow away the baloney. Be gone ye half truths, deceptions and distractions. More plain talk please. Just the facts...
