There are situations where applying Occam's razor always works and situations where applying Occam's razor never works. It's a general rule across a variety just like other things...
John From: Ian W Eberhart [mailto:[email protected]] I don't think occam's razor is just the "shortest" explanation, but the one that requires the least complexity. From what I understand, the two theories provided here are working within the same level of complexity; they are working from the same data. If you were to extrapolate on the "shortest" explanation definition, you could say that occam's razor was disproved long ago when general relatively was able to predict celestial movement with more precision than classical mechanics. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
