„Hledejte jednoduchost a nedůvěřujte jí.“
Kontext: Cílem vědy je hledat nejjednodušší vysvětlení složitých faktů. Mýlíme se, když si myslíme, že fakta jsou jednoduchá, protože jednoduchost je cílem našeho hledání. Vedoucím heslem v životě každého přírodního filozofa by mělo být: „Hledejte jednoduchost a nedůvěřujte jí.“
