A bit redundant

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Occam's razor is listed both in the "Variants" section and under "See also". Is this strictly required? Is it a problem? Is it not funny to have redundant links on this page in particular?

Further examples?

Proposing the addition of "It's the economy, stupid" to the list of variants and/or list of political usages. It follows the same pattern and has the same implication of avoiding complication in an approach. A.lilac.future (talk) 13:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Another possible addition to the variants E.F. Schumacher 's quote "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction." ^[1] WorldsWanderer (talk) 11:22, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
