On what premise? 'Theories' are human constructs, hence why physicist are so adamant about their Truth and Beauty. It's wrong to say that, when most sciences rely heavily on Occam's principle (an aesthetic argument) for reasons unknown. It's pretty likely that the human brain is guided by both principles to model the world, and that should be reflected in the formulation of our theories.
