I do wish people would stop citing Occam as if it was some hard law of physics. It's just a philosophical proposition that actually refers to prefering solutions that rely on fewer assumptions, although it is commonly cited to mean "the explanation with the lowest complexity is more likely to be correct".
But even under that interpretation, if Occam's razor was a hard rule of the universe then we would have no relativity, no quantum mechanics and no women...
