Carter and Henry in “Alienated”

No, I believe in Occam's Razor. It’s the basis for methodological reductionism.

Okay, so, given two equally predictive theories, you choose the one that has fewer assumptions. So, a tree falls after a storm. The first hypothesis holds that the tree was blown over by the storm. The second - rival hypothesis - claims that the storm forced an alien spaceship to cash into the tree. See?

Y-no.
