> But if you subscribe to the philosophical principle known as Occam’s Razor, which holds that simpler solutions are more likely to be correct than complex ones It's hard to take analysis seriously when it gets this wrong. Occam doesn't say what's likely, he says it's preferable to prefer simpler answers until more complex ones are required. It's also just... not any simpler to say "he picked a pseudonym that used his initials, reversed" than "he picked a pseudonym at random"
