Occam's Razor for Normal People

Here is a book that you will never see on shelves. It is called "occam's razor for normal people without the convoluted probability/statistics jargon".

1. Precise explanations are more informative than vague explanations.

2. A complicated thing is made of simpler things. This is true for everything, including explanations.

3. The more things you say, the more chances you have to be wrong, simply because you're saying more things. This is still the case even when you lump multiple things together into a more complicated thing.

4. Precise explanations are more informative *because* they tell you more things, and are therefore more complicated.

5. Precise explanations, being more complicated, have more chances to be wrong.

6. Because precise explanations have more chances to be wrong, they need to be backed up more than simple explanations do.

The end.
