Quite often that may be usefull. However, I direct you to the discussion of the philosophical position at hand, presumably Ockhams Razor, in Nicholas Fearn's accessibly book "How to think like a philosopher". Ockhams razor doesn't work so simply that a simple catch-phrase like that sums up its validity. One still needs to follow the argument in order to clarify their own position.
