Is it just me that finds it odd when people quote the simplest interpretation of Occam's razor for explanations of a situation as a solid, perfect rule, not a helpful heuristic?
Excusable in TeeVee land (I seem to recall it being quoted in Contact in a court room as fact?) but it seems to have seeped increasingly into the lexicon of people who like simple answers, instead of requiring correct ones.
Hmph. Maybe it's me that's simple. I don't know if my brain works right these days.
