Real Simple

   I don't have much opportunity to engage in conversation these days.  But in the past month, two different medical professionals, and also a family member, have mentioned the same term.  Occam's Razor is evidently a touchstone in the world of medical diagnostics.  Simply put, it espouses the principle of parsimony.  The assumptions introduced to explain a thing must not be multiplied beyond necessity.  What can be done with few assumptions is done in vain with more.The simplest answer is often THE answer.  Now if we know what we're talking about, why not just say it?
