The real history of Occam's Razor dates back to an argument between a Franciscan friar named William of Occam and Thomas Aquinas who wanted to understand what happened in the moment of holy communion when a catholic priest transformed a cracker into the body of Christ. Though Occam believed his solution to the problem was the simplest, anyone looking back at the debate from a modern perspective will instantly understand that the entire idea of Occam's Razor (the the simplest explanation is usually the correct one) is just straight up wrong.
