Could you not argue Occam's Razor from the conjunction fallacy? The more components that are required to be true, the less likely they are all simultaneously true. Propositions with less components are therefore more likely, or does that not follow?
Propositions with more parts are not necessarily merely the conjunction of those parts. "A or B" and "A and B" may both be the same amount of complexity, by whatever measure, more than A.
