Occam's razor

 

William of Ockham

Occam's razor (also spelled Ockham's razor) is a principle attributed to the 14th-century English logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham (Guilhelmi Ockam and Guillermi de Ockam in Latin [1]). Originally a tenet of the reductionist philosophy of nominalism, it is more often taken today as a heuristic maxim that advises economy, parsimony, or simplicity in scientific theories.

Occam's razor states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating, or "shaving off," those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. In short, when given two equally valid explanations for a phenomenon, one should embrace the less complicated formulation. The principle is often expressed in Latin as the lex parsimoniae (law of succinctness):

entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem,

US enters rape case minefield | The World | The Australian

February 22, 2007

THE US today weighed into the politically explosive case of a Sunni woman allegedly raped by three Iraqi policemen, announcing its own investigation after the Shia-run Government dismissed her allegations as lies.

The announcement by the US's chief military spokesman in Baghdad appeared aimed at containing the growing political storm over the case, which strikes at the heart of Iraqi attitudes of dignity and the protection of women.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's exoneration of the three officers after an investigation lasting less than a day has enflamed Sunni-Shiite tension.
Mr Maliki, a Shiite, stoked the political flames further by firing a top Sunni official who called for an international investigation into the woman's allegations, which were broadcast on Monday by satellite television stations across the Middle East.

Indeed.  It takes three men to see the rape take place before a success before a rapist can be judged.  Sharia law was violated by revealing this to the press.    It is a lose-lose.  The girl loses.  She was raped. Even if DNA shows that rape took place the US will have to negate, step on, ignore, cast aside, denigrate Sharia law to prosecute the rapists.

Watch how anyone coming near this event with the idea of bringing justice to these rapists will be drowned in a sea of Islamic chaos.  My opinion: this is indeed a tar-baby to ensnare briar rabbit, US and anyone working with the US.
