Best Answer

Occam's Razor is generally treated as something along the lines of "If there are multiple explanations for something, the simplest one is the most likely to be true."

This is not exactly what Willam of Ockham originally wrote, which was in Latin and translates to something like "Entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity," but it is a natural conclusion of applying that principle.

What kind of blades does Occams razor use?

sharp ones ---- It's a trick question. Occam's razor is an expression defining the principle that "entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily." The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. The bottom line! Of several acceptable explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest is preferable. The unnecessary is excessive.
