It is not so much whether we identify the simplest theory, but that we are so good at inferring principles and predicting, whether in science or in day to day life. SI is a formalization of this general capability. Perhaps a finite TM can approximate SI to some degree, but to what degree, and is this degree equivalent to human capability? I don't know of any evidence of the latter. If you do, let me know!
