It is a principle stating that among competing hypotheses, the one that is
the most simple should be selected. Can anyone honestly say that I have not
brought forth the most simple-minded theory on this newsgroup? Ernie

Why, haven't you heard? I have cured male pattern baldness, but despite
showing all kinds of proof, there are those who still doubt me. Thanks for
asking. Ernie

Since you are the proven forger HUNKY farrela and a proven liar of
course you posted it using your name.

We all know you tried to rob people of their money, hair and sex lives
at yours snake oil site but thank goodness nobody was stupid enough to
take any of your advice.

Who wants hair loss tips from someone who is clearly bald?

So the theory is that the best theory is the simplest one. But if you
have an alternate theory, you can no longer say that the simplest one
is best, and in fact you are not using the simplest one anymore. So
the theory is correct whether you choose the simplest theory or not.

This is analogous to what I call The Reversed Russell Set RS, which is
RS = { x | x e x }, the set of sets x that do contain themselves. Is
RS e RS ? RS e RS == RS e RS, so RS e RS can be anything. That is,
if RS e RS then RS e RS is justified, and otherwise it is not
justified. Rather than choosing an answer that meets the given
conditions, we choose a question where every answer meets the given
conditions.

Why would you need an alrernate theory?

the simlest theory that explains all observations and can be used to
make useful testable predictions is to be preferred.

Like friendly tourists carrying big kegs of beer on the plane are to
be trusted.

Friendly - like beer - on tourist VISA.

SO...

Get camera ready for expected great party shots!

All observations fit the theory those kegs are full of beer!

The more complex theory to check the contents anyway for explosives,
weapons, poisons or drugs can safely be discarded!

According to you!

Like I said - BIGGEST CROC OF SH%T IN HISTORY OCCAM'S RAZOR!

It seems like a meta-scientific method..

IT is actually an ANTI-SCIENTIFIC-METHOD

About as reliable as a Judge and Jury.

Occam's Razor is
EVERYTHING IS ALREADY EXPLAINED - DISCARD ALL NEW HYPOTHESIS

which is

THROW OUT ALL EXPERIMENTAL DATA PRESENTED

and use IDIOT PSYCHOLOGY *AGAINST* the people doing the research
instead!
