I just noticed you new signature : "Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate [William of Ockham]". Can you give us a translation, since I guess there are lots of non native latin speakers out there ;-)
I asked my friend Google, says he doesn't know but knows someone who knows:
From http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_of_Ockham:
"Pluralities should not be posited without necessity"
And if your english is like mine you might like the French too, from http://www.linux-france.org/prj/jargonf/O/Occam.html:
"Les choses essentielles ne doivent pas être multipliées sans nécessité "
Mmmmh... this will require a lot of thoughts...
This reminds me of my favorite quote : "Perfection is achieved not when there's nothing more to add, but when there's nothing left to remove" (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, also quoted by ESR in the Cathedral and the Bazaar). This is pinned on my office wall.
