Examples of Occam's Razor

All the way back in the 12th century, the Franciscan friar William of Ockham gave the world a rule: "Plurality must never be posited without necessity." Put more simply, the simplest answer - that is, the answer that requires the fewest assumptions - is generally the correct one.  In the 800-plus years since Friar William laid down his maxim, logicians have turned it into a rule: Occam's razor. Occam's razor simply states that of any given set of explanations for an event occurring, the simplest one is most likely the correct one.  Occam's razor makes no absolute assertions. It does not claim that the simplest answer is always correct. It merely suggests that, among all possible answers to a question, one's best bet is generally the one that requires the fewest assumptions.

How Occam's Razor Works

Some examples of Occam's razor include the following:

One of the fence posts is broken.
Of possible explanations a) An albino moose, lost on its quest for its squirrel best friend, crashed through the fence in despair, or b) An old nail rusted through, "b" is more likely.

The tire on the car is flat.
Of possible explanations a) The screw stuck in the tire wall let the air out, or b) Serial tire-flatteners sliced it open with a laser scalpel, creating an imperceptible hole, then inserted the screw in another part of the tire to mark their victory, explanation "a" is more likely.

It is raining and I saw a bright flash through my curtains.
Of possible explanations a) lightning, or b) UFOs are trying to pull my roof off, explanation "a" is more likely.

A student failed the statistics test.
Of possible explanations a) The student needed to study harder, or b) Malicious textbook publishers put wrong answers in the study guide in hopes of sabotaging future statisticians, explanation "a" is more likely.

A car rear-ended another in highway traffic during rush hour.
Of possible explanations a) The driver was distracted by the phone in his hand, or b) The driver was distracted by an elephant on the side of the road, which ran away before anyone else could see it, explanation "a" is more likely.

A loud noise is heard in an apartment that is next to a busy highway.
Of possible explanations a) The surface of the highway cracked due to an unprecedented volcanic event, or b) A truck backfired, explanation "b" is more likely.

A man has sent several text messages to his wife over the course of a day, and she has not responded.
Of possible explanations a) her phone ran out of battery, or b) she is maliciously ignoring him in revenge for an error on his part that he cannot remember, explanation "a" is more likely.

A woman is nauseous several hours after eating at a restaurant.
Of possible explanations a) She may have food poisoning or b) Her long-dormant fetal twin has awakened and begun to move, explanation "a" is more likely.

A roast beef in the oven burns to a crisp after being in the oven for only one hour.
Of possible explanations a) A sleepwalking neighbor came into the house and turned up the oven temperature, or b) The oven's temperature gauge is wrong, explanation "b" is more likely.

A dog owner comes home to the trash can tipped over and trash is scattered on the floor.
Of possible explanations a) The dog tipped the trash can over, or b) Someone broke into the house and sorted through the trash can, explanation "a" is more likely.

A ball rolls out into the road in a residential area in front of a man's car.
Of possible explanations a) Some children are playing ball and it accidentally rolled into the road, or b) Some children are rolling balls into the road deliberately, in hopes of wrecking cars and looting the remains to prop up their tottering lemonade business, explanation "a" is more likely.

She has assured me she could murder someone in such a way that no pathologist could detect.

Then again I worked for years in the hazardous waste disposal business so I could make someone disappear in such a way no one could ever find them.

We make a good team.

How the fuck can #TrumpBodyCount be trending on twitter? Trump has never been accused of killing anyone. Nor does he have a corrupt 40 year long history in politics where those associated with him have been "arkancided".

Here's how:

1. #ClintonBodyCount is trending.
2. The political activist monitoring trends for pro-left value vs. anti-left threat signals that this hashtag is rising fast in the ranks
3. He/she/it is instructed to bump it down so the number of references is manually edited to ~20% of what it was
4. He/she/it continues to monitor
5. #ClintonBodyCount is still rising fast in the rankings.
6. Twitter political activist requests further instructions.
7. He/she/it is told to manually edit the hashtag to read #TrumpBodyCount if it reaches top 10 again.
8. #ClintonBodyCount reaches top 10.
9. Manual edit is made to change it to #TrumpBodyCount but the reference tally is left alone.
10. Profit ???

Wouldn’t be anywhere near as easy as what you are saying. Unless there was some direct edit potential purposely put in the code for this purpose.

It’s more likely that trump body count is trending because Twitter is probably 80% dems and the most vocal usually are progressives

Those sites do what algo tells them to. It is simpler than he is saying. Twitter uses bots to promote things. After the Gilroy shooting a miss spelled antigun hashtag was trending. Bots did that, many of the bots had blue checkmarks.

Pretty much impossible.

He was murdered. He had WAYYYYYYY too fucking much to allow him to testify.

Not just on the Clintons. He had dirt on all the swamp and Hollywood. No fucking way was he going to be allowed to testify.

Also, there is no way that security would "leave the area" for maintenance. Thats total bullshit. Unless its an emergency, no maintenance is performed during the night, and at all times, maintenance staff would have a security escort.
