Oh, I see. Now we're going to pretend you didn't at all equivocate between "parsimonious" and "simple". The posts are there, dude. You can't tap dance your way out of this one.

Are you not familiar with the version of Occam’s razor which states that “all other things being equal, the simplest explanation is often best”? Do you think this means something different then the one with "parsimonious"? How many razors do you think old Bill had?

Edit to add.... you may note, that I might ask a question to get you to articulate your objection clearly and logically. You know; so we can examine the claim.
