Except occams razor isn't a theory, it's a principle.
Semantics, really.
Not to be confused with Semitics.
Its absolute rubbish. Ive never heard any intelligent person use Occams Razor in an argument.
Not adding unecassary variables during the scientific process is good. The less moving parts, the less that can go wrong is also benificial. Using this theory to justify other theories is just castles built on sand. The knowledge filter / reproducibility crisis is preventing poor hypothosis' from being worked on by anyone willing to make waves.
