Occam’s razor

: a scientific and philosophical rule that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily which is interpreted as requiring that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex or that explanations of unknown phenomena be sought first in terms of known quantities.

In other words, the simplest answer is usually the correct one.  I bring the argument of Donald Trump – in his ever changing story, the Wall Street Journal (yes, THAT Wall Street Journal) broke news today that should seem blatantly obvious to normal people; that Trump himself, in violation of campaign finance laws, personally directed and was intimately involved in the hush money paid to women to silence them about his sexual escapades with them.

This is classic Occam’s Razor.  The simplest answer (and most obvious) is usually the correct one.

In other news, water is wet.
