I agree. I think Occam's Razor is often employed because people don't want to think about it anymore. In many instances, OR makes sense. But every situation is not a place to employ the principle. A good friend--quite brilliant in fact--said when I asked if he believed in God: "No." I wondered why. He replied, "I don't need the complication in my life." Occam had the complication in his life. (Of course, the razor thing was something that had been employed in philosophy before Occam entered the picture.) There are times when I wish folks would just avoid mentioning Occam as though he were an authority. No offense to anyone.
