You do have a point. The absurdity metric we [I] commonly confuse with Occam's Razor does closely resemble "the mind patterning the unfamiliar based on the familiar", and falsely equating such a resemblance with simplicity. It's specific enough a mistake to warrant its own name, be it fake-simplicity or "simplexity".

One of the few times I changed a downvote to an upvote upon reflection. Looking forward to the next post of the series.
