Sure, and the "simplest explanation" while seemingly easy to understand can completely miss the point and persist as a
serious cognitive bias.
ETA: Just saw the note on Occam's razor. Not to get too dorky,
but it's my pet peeve that the phrase is terribly misused in popular parlance and at any rate, I much prefer to apply Hanlon's razor (although neither seems to apply in this case).
