Ockham's Razor is a useful rule of thumb for simplifying decision-making.

But however useful Ockham’s razor might be in practise it is instructive to observe that it is almost always wrong. There will always be a more complicated model that is more accurate, but which is likely lost amongst the uncountable number of plausible but incorrect more complicated models.
