Kevin FockeFocke's razor: Never attribute to plot holes that which is adequately explained by miracles.
About This Quote
A reviewer of a book once said that Focke's razor, also known as the law of parsimony , is the best way to explain how we can explain all things. The law of parsimony states "Never attribute to plot holes that which is adequately explained by miracles." The logic here is simple: You don't explain something by saying, "Well, there must be a plot hole here because it was clearly written in the book and the writer didn't think it through." The author probably thought through everything and there is no reason to assume that he made a mistake. Therefore, we assume that this explanation is better than a miracle.
