Postulated is the right word , there are an infinite number of ways to express a conclusion, the simpler one is prefered not become Occam's Razor is some ultimate logic model but due to the fact that a simpler hypothesis is easyer to test .
This was actually in the introduction of the link but you haven't bothered to read it.
I don't see "postulated" anywhere in the intro, at least not with reference to "scientific theory". But even if it is in there somewhere, it would be more appropriate to say that they are established through repeated testing of its predictive and explanatory power, but I guess you can also say "postulated" given a certain context and/or interpretation (such as theories postulate this and that). But it's not generally just an educated guess (like a scientific hypothesis).
I do see your point , I may have missused "postulated". But my objection was that the one who used it described is an instrument of logic, wich is not why Occam's razor is used.
If I would use Occam's Razors in this topic I will use it to chose a religion not to see if it is true or false . Using it the prefered religion would be Deism because it makes the fewest asumptions.
