    You gotta discuss that with google and Wikipedia I guess.

    As for what actually equals Ockham's razor:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor
    It states that among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. Other, more complicated solutions may ultimately prove correct, but—in the absence of certainty—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better.
    Now your posts contained just the words "Ockham's razor", followed by an equals sign (and the word "then" in one case) and then something you tried to pass off as fact, none of that makes sense. You do not present various hypotheses to choose from, you say nothing about what we already know and how many assumptions have to be made and neither do you explain why Ockham's razor should be applied here instead of another principle. Even that sentence from wiki says that Ockham's razor does not always result in a true hypothesis. But you ignore all that and put some hypothesis you personally like behind an equals sign as though that somehow made it true.
