Isn't it: for a given outcome, reached by two hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions is usually correct? Which isn't always necessarily the same as "simplest is usually correct", or at least how I commonly see it deployed.
I like Kant's response: "The variety of beings should not rashly be diminished".
