No, that's still incorrect.

People are more complicated, not more simple, as we understand humans and biology, more. As we learn more about human cognition, neuroscience, and environmental factors, we realize that all explanations just keep getting more and more complicated.

Occam's Razor is pretty much philosophical trash as it almost never adequately translates to the real world and only functions as a fun talking point in high school philosophy class. It has it's purposes as a teaching tool but just does not adequately translate to the real world.



Hickam's dictum is a better explanation for just about everything when you apply it like an antonym of Occam's Razor (and not just medical science).

I like this guy.

"Occam's Razor" is used a lot more:

But the friar it is named after has a surname spelling of "Ockham" but the Latin writings (what he wrote his works in) would have spelled his name as "Occam" so Occam would be the most correct and original spelling. Which is why it is the most common spelling. With things like these, the Latin spelling is the one that shows up in philosophy and science (a vast majority of time).

At no point should "Ocham" be considered correct and that is simply a misspelling that is common enough to have shown up in too many places ignore it.



No one cares about this except nerds and philosophy majors.
