Attiyah's razor

[C_Felix]

You are fishing in the wrong hole, IMHO. The differences in cultural literacy and style are just too great to fake.

It probably made you smile though!

If I understand correctly, this razor can be summarised as "two guesses make a fact".

I would lol at this, but for my lolgland being utterly empty from the pre-emptive lulz incurred in reading the OP.

Attiyah’s razor​

On finding an anomaly or abnormality in any natural phenomenon, scientists begin their attempts to account for it so as to give what might seem as an acceptable explanation. In such cases, however, I suggest that scientists must begin their attempts by finding or proposing another suitable anomaly in order to solve the abnormality confronting them. Accordingly, I suggest a scientific basis saying: “Anomalies solve each other” or : “abnormal solves abnormal”.
In other words, the priority in the field of explaining any anomaly must be for another anomaly. I see to call this basis as “Attiyah’s razor”.

Thats better....

Actually it took me a while to notice that, but you're right.

Is this a two wrongs make a right thingy?

either way many words make not a proposition....and I have some spare lol's left, here's one I don't mind you using..(sends KE a lol) .there you go...LOL

Attiyah's razor must work here because who shoudn't care he shouldn't ask.

Why should you care?

No idea.

Team B the question goes over to you.

 

[gabeygoat]

Or perhaps Attiyah's Toxic Tufts of Idiosyncratic Yet All-embracing Hair. The acronym for which is of course ATTIYAH.

holy crap, hahahahah

Will you please stop referring to yourself in the third person? Thank you.

Unless Zahdeh means 'follower'.

Joined in 2008, and only 40 posts? What kind of crank ARE you?

Has anybody ever seen A. Zahdeh and B. Shoddy in the same thread? The same hexagonal cage?

 

[AdinDraco]

I don't get it (read the OP 6 times). Is this like solving a mystery with another mystery sort of thing or is it something else more subtle?

Occam's Razor, when applied to Attiyah's Razor, reveals that the simplest explanation for Attiyah's Razor is that it is a lame attampt at subjective justification.

I hear its amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hari Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

You're proposing a serious revision of the scientific process, the likes of which haven't been seen since Bacon referred to a knight and not delicious dead pig parts. It's perfectly justifiable for us to ask for your credentials. I mean, without them we're left with only what you say. We can draw a few conclusions from this: For example, it's obvious that you've never engaged in rigorous scientific analysis of any type. I say this because even a Master's student has encountered, at least a few times, an anomaly that exists only because the student doesn't understand some fundamental principle of science. To an actual scientist this is fairly commonplace. We can also draw this conclusion based on the style of your writing--devoid of examples, devoid of facts, and focused on your own greatness, none of which would pass through any sort of peer review. So, from our perspective, we have someone who has no idea what they're doing and no experience trying to tell us (remember, many of us are scientists) how to do our jobs. This is considered by most to be a fairly aggressive move, and one to which many will react with some hostility. When you refuse to provide your credentials you make it even worse, because you demonstrate yourself to have NO credentials.

So, please answer the question: Who are you, and why should we (and in particular the scientists here) pay any attention to your recommendations?

 

[Sideroxylon]

What benefit does this have? What problems does it solve in the scientific endeavour? Answers with reference to science history or current examples would be good.

These are fair questions, aren't they?

ANOMALY ONE: You.

ANOMALY TWO: Paul Stanley and Cher have never been witnessed at the same time.

That solves it. HOORAY FOR SCIENCE

It was at some point assumed that the plague were caused by ill humours and the logical step were to use strong smelling spices as a prophylactic.

I wonder what Attiyah's razor would suggest instead, having a small bunny on a string?

 

[sadhatter]

Razors don't add things, they cut things away. Doing the opposite of what a razor does makes it not a razor. Maybe Attiyah's Beard would be a better name for your idea.

I am going to make a unique weapon in my D & D campaign called Attiyah's beard.

+1 shortsword that does 1d6 extra damage, unique properties being all damage is bludgeoning, and it gives the character a -15 penalty on spot checks.
