My, my. Is the world economy that bad? Why is everyone so grouchy
this week? Now it's not nice to castrate poor Occam, Miguel. I'm sure
Occam wouldn't castrate you unless there was a good reason for it,
but then again, your castration would be founded on an assumption,
albeit a small one, and we musn't multiply hypotheses, n'est-ce pas? :)

I'm sure what you term "simple-minded" are transparent, easy-to-
understand rules of change and of course, in comparison to your
brain-numbing rules, I agree that my rules are not as complex. I'm
proud of that lack of unnecessary complexity.
