Occam's razor

(also Ockham's razor or Ocham's razor), is the problem-solving principle that states that when presented with competing hypotheses that make the same predictions, one should select the solution with the fewest assumptions[240] and is not meant to filter out hypotheses that make different predictions. The idea is attributed to English Franciscan friar William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347), a scholastic philosopher and theologian.
