Also... you don’t just automatically go with the simplest idea no matter what.... I don’t think you understand this either. Smile

Didn't we have a brief exchange yesterday on this subject where you agreed that your understanding of the BoP was flawed? And here we are again.

Do not multiply beyond necessity! Or don’t add unnecessary things (keep it simple)

You're equivocating! As the man just said, and I quote:

"Well, I don't think you understand the difference between "simplest" and "most parsimonious".

The words parsimony, and simple, are not synonymous.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
