Blore's Razor

Blore's Razor is a principle attributed to the English philosopher William Blore, known for its application in epistemology and decision theory. It posits that one should not multiply entities beyond necessity, serving as a guide for opting for simpler explanations when faced with competing hypotheses. Although not as widely recognized as some other philosophical tools, it contributes to discussions on parsimony in reasoning.
