Occam's Razor often cuts far too quickly. It's a nice "rule of
   thumb" - to make things simple but not too simple, but I don't
   think it deserves a rule of law but rather a nice idea to
   consider. Look at what would've happened if Occam's Razor was
   applied too soon to the field you're in? It wouldn't exist. Yet,
   pursuing a "complexification" process ended up revealing a nice
   simplicity (concept of spin). So, I don't know what to add, but
   I wanted to say that I enjoyed reading the different "ways to
   get there".
