Context tweet responding to #TVTheLateShowStephenColbert piece about #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyMartinHeinrich insisting on those opposed to US voting rights should be identified so that those (I assume) who are critical of #LiteralVoterIdentificationVoterID policies, can be voted out.

Supplementary "Occam's razor was never meant for paring nature down to some beautiful, parsimonious core of truth. Because science is so difficult and messy, the allure of a philosophical tool for clearing a path or pruning the thickets is obvious. In their readiness to find spurious applications of Occam's razor in the history of science, or to enlist, dismiss, or reshape the razor at will to shore up their preferences, scientists reveal their seduction by this vision. But they should resist it. The value of keeping assumptions to a minimum is cognitive, not ontological: It helps you to think. A theory is not 'better' if it is simpler--but it might well be more useful, and that counts for much more." [digital archives]
