Herb Tate
To the Point
Keep it simple, he said, but in that manner he had of telling me the most straightforward things in ways that made me try extra hard not to forget. Non sunt multiplicanda entia sine necessitate. Ockham’s Razor. Entities are not to be multiplied without necessity. I have no Latin but even in English I wasn’t sure I understood what he meant. If there’s more than one solution to a problem, then pick the least complicated one. Far more times than you can imagine, things really are exactly as they seem. Believe me, you’ll see.
