Occam's Safety Guard
Occam's Safety Guard is like telling a kid who’s trying to be cool that he’s just going to end up with the same result whether he adds 10 steps or just jumps in. He’s still going to fall in the pool.
He didn’t just jump in the pool. He did a backflip, a handstand, and a somersault. The water was still cold. He was still wet.
She didn’t just text her crush. She wrote a song, recorded it, and sent it to him. He just texted back, 'Hey, nice song. Want to hang out?"
He didn’t just finish the race. He added 5 more laps. He was still first. He was just more tired.
