Why is simpler sometimes better than complicated?

Question

I got chosen for best answer, and mine was the simplest.

Answer 1

Occam's razor states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating, or "shaving off", those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory.
A modern slang expression of the same concept would be to apply the KISS principle, an abbreviation for "keep it simple, stupid!"
