Steve now:

            I'd  agree completely with Kizor's Rake, except that Occam's
Razor already says the same thing. 

All things being equal, the simplest answer tends to be the right one. If it
didn't say 'tends to be the right one' but instead said 'must be the right
one', it would be useless as a scientific principle. Anyway, neither applies
to these books, or any books for that matter. JK can write any answer to be
the right one she chooses, no matter if it is the simplest or not.
