The fourth one is the important one, and matches what Vladimir_Nesov was saying. In my second paragraph I'm explaining why each of your examples aren't things that you should apply Occam's prior to, even though they might be called "hypotheses". I can't really see how my paragraphs 1 and 3 could be unparsable.
