ARKHAM’S RAZOR - Occam’s Razor proposes that when more than one explanation is available to solve a problem and/or predict outcomes, the simplest one is probably your best bet. The opposite rule is Arkham’s Razor, which holds true in fiction, particularly comedy: “When given multiple explanations for an event, the oddest one is most likely to be true.” After all, the essence of comedy is the unexpected.
