So I think my original hypothesis actually itself reduces to Occam’s Razor.
Yeah, that’s what I think too.
Presumably, what I’d expect to see if Occam’s Razor is an unreliable guideline is that when I’m choosing between two explanations, one of which is more complex for a consistent and coherent definition of complexity, it turns out that simpler explanation is often incorrect.
