>This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction and both hypotheses have equal explanatory power, one should prefer the hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions,[4] and that this is not meant to be a way of choosing between hypotheses that make different predictions. Similarly, in science, Occam's razor is used as an abductive heuristic in the development of theoretical models rather than as a rigorous arbiter between candidate models.[5][6]
>In essence, Occam's razor states that the simplest explaination for a phenomenon is likely to be the most accurate one, e.g. if someone has a headace it is likely due to the fact they are dehydrated, and not that the have an inoperable brain tumour.
