I am not saying that Occam’s Razor is not a useful heuristic. It is. But it is not evidence.
Can you restate what you consider the use of Occam’s Razor to be, and what you consider evidence to be for?
Because from my perspective the purpose of evidence is to increase/decrease my confidence in various statements, and it seems to me that Occam’s Razor is useful for doing precisely that. So this distinction doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, and rereading the thread doesn’t clarify matters.
