Ockham.noun
The English scholastic William of Ockham formulated the most radically nominalistic criticism of the scholastic belief in intangible, invisible things such as forms, essences and universals, such as God, angels, frequencies, even perhaps air? He maintained that such abstract.entities are merely references of words to other words, rather than to actual things. His famous rule, known as Ockham's razor, which stupidly says that one should not assume the existence of more things than are logically necessary (don't think all around something {because you may learn some things then}), in other words, avoid using imagination. And this became a fundamental principle of modern science and philosophy (this being another reason modern education is in trouble, where many students can think about as long as the time a fly lands on something before taking off again). How did such a limiting theory become accepted and what groups adopted it as having validity for widespread dissemination?.comprised with Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99.

also called.law of parsimony

Are we then to stop asking questions? If so, it's not a scientific approach, but rather an approach lacking substance)
