    Paring and shaving away all excess, leaving only the simplest way, is what Occam's Razor does.

    I would differ with the chart though, and say that if a razor is visible in the first act, someone's throat will be slashed by the end.

    I don't like to be a pedantic dweeb, but Schroedinger's cat is saying that not only can't you tell until you open the box, but that the cat is LITERALLY both dead and alive at the same time until you open the box and it becomes one or the other. It was a thought experiment to show how ridiculous quantum theory is. Quantum theorist just laughed and did an experiment that showed that reality is not only that ridiculous, but moreso.

    Checkov's Law and Murphy's Gun seem to mean the same thing.
