Congratulations, Hanging Rook! William of Ockham it is!

Fun fact, it's a common misconception that "Occam's Razor" refers to a logical principle that states that the simplest explanation is usually the best. In fact, William of Ockham was involved in numerous heated theological debates and "Occam's Razor" refers to the principle that a man with a knife wins more arguments than a man without one.
