	Occam's razor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The primary activity of science — formulating theories and selecting the most promising ones — is impossible without a way of choosing from among the theories which fit the evidence equally well, the number of which can be arbitrarily large (see underdetermination).
		William H. Jefferys and James O. Berger (1991) quantify this undesirable factor that in its extremity manifests as unnecessary assumptions into the degree to which a proposition is unnecessarily accommodating to possible observable data.
		Theories which specifically, logically entail the observed set of data or are similarly entailed by it are preferred over theories which are trivially consistent with it by mere virtue of being consistent with a wide range of possible data a priori or ad-hoc adjustment that is otherwise unjustified (see also Bayesian inference and falsifiability).
