Occam's Razor

Occam's Razor is the principle attributed to William of Hockham, a 14^th century Franciscan, who said "in explaining a thing, no more assumptions should be made than are necessary"

It tells us that assumptions, even the political landscape, must be as few as possible.

I believe a 'Marcos' of cataclysmic proportions and with a penchant for chess, is behind the simultaneous woes of two personalities who apparently believe they are dealing with a daft fowl when in actuality, their common quarry is draped in swirling knives.

My belief is not due to knowledge of the principle but rather founded on it. It is part of my rational that comes from a passion of putting together a simple bicycle and perhaps deciphering body language.

For example a 10-minute video of a press conference where he holds court, could take me several hours to detect and decipher a couple of red flags when there may be several. The principle offers a formula that does not rely on deductive logic but where the simplest idea is usually the most plausible.
