Occam’s
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible From: The Seven Pillars of Wisdom SOURCE Excerpt from blogger altHippo [HERE], "...If Occam’s Razor is the principle that the simplest explanation is preferred over the most fantastic, then what do you call the notion that the most contorted explanation, that also supports one’s ideological viewpoint, is closest to the truth?
As you may guess from the title I’m going with Occam’s Blender. That’s where you cherry-pick facts, add some opinion, a little fantasy, a heaping helping of hackery, and puree until chunky. Then, you serve it in a dirty glass and point out that if you drink the whole thing, you’ll also have consumed some bits of truth in the process..."
MooPig Razor's and Eulogies Department hopes you followed all that... so that now you the reader might answer us:
"So, who drove in the final wood stake?"
