Occam's Razor

[daz]

Can the principle of Occam's Razor be applied to 9/11 theories such as pod and flash and Pentagon? And how does it affect them?

Remind others that Occam's Razor states that the hypothesis that explains all the evidence and requires fewest assumptions is probably correct.
I often quote Occam's Razor when discussing 9-11. For assumptions read conspirators.

I just found a link on Occam's Razor and Conspiracy Theories. Occam's Razor is very important to the 9/11 truth movement. Ignore it at your peril.

Does Occam's Razor make FLIGHT 77 appear at the Pentagon or cause the WTC to implode uniformaly, or make WTC7 commit suicide seven hours later because it missed the rest of its family?

Occams razor only operates because the media and government story is created with intent of its appearance and sequelae and thus appears the simplest explanation
Other interpretations thereafter appear to complicate the constructed illusion and are therefore disposable
It's philisophical bs to tell the truth and is never an answer or a rebuttal

My approach is to use basic physics (indisputable) to prove essential elements of the official story wrong. This can be done in about 5 minutes.

Everything else can flow from that - e.g. there can be no motivation for a full investigation unless it is totally clear that the official story is provably a lie. The above is my attempt to do this. I invite everyone and anyone to apply Occam's Razor, Cockham's Chisel and Roger's Hacksaw to the above and see if they "take it down".

In fact, I think I am going to e-mail to some academics...
