This is an interesting way of thinking about it, but then it becomes essential to determine what the 'domain complexity level' is for any domain, and the possibility of unending argument on what that that level is will almost certainly destroy any value that either dictum or razor have.

That's why the best strategy is divide&conquer - run the razors concurrently.

Assume complexity then move towards simplicity.

Assume simplicity then move towards complexity.

One of them will succeed sooner than the other. Dialectic...
