Curious that you immediately descend into partisan thought short-circuiting and now that that didn't work, you come up with a new angle.

The person you're replying to wasn't the one who invoked what you call "partisan thought short circuiting," (which, I have to say, reads a lot like parody). It was me. Occam's razor is not at all about "what I prefer" and is entirely about preferring theories with evidence over those that are lacking (instead of inventing new theories to explain away the lack of evidence).

Sorry, dumb thing to write. That's not at all Occam's razor is and I clearly need to get educated.
