According to Liv Chenka, Occam's razor postulated that the mostly obvious solution was usually right. (AUDIO: How to Make a Killing in Time Travel) Occam's razor was associated with William of Ockham, a figure on Earth. (AUDIO: The Lost Resort)
The Fifth Doctor felt the principle was similar to Margyle's knife, which originated on Traken. (AUDIO: The Lost Resort)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the real world, Occam's razor (aka the principle of parsimony) postulated that the solution that had the least number of entities, i.e. that which was most simple, was most likely right. The term is derived from William of Ockham, a Franciscan theologian who was well known for his skepticism of abstract entities outside of God.
