Of course, there's this guy called Occam who has this great talking
electric shaver that says:  given two scenarios, start with the one with the

You'll always find that the ones who choose the scenarios with more
assumptions ALWAYS do so because they have some vested interest in wanting
to believe in those assumptions.  (Else they have been duped in some way.)
