- Occam's razor:
-
- To simultaneously define it and demonstrate it, try making the following
- decision:
-
- It is either the statement that "one should not multiply entities without
- necessity" or it is a special kind of straight-razor brought to the earth
- by malevolent space aliens who eat martian girls. (Mars needs women).
-
- You be the judge.
