:: By the way, shouldn't it be pointed out that there is a strong and a weak interpretation of the razor? The strong interpretation is that the simpeler theories are more likely to be true and the weak interpretation is that it is just more practical to investigate the simpeler ones first. The former claim is, I believe, a metaphysical claim and the latter one is not and AFAIK the usual one in the common philosophy of science. -- [[User:Jan Hidders|Jan Hidders]] 13:15 Jan 3, 2003 (UTC)
