Pool's Razor

Do not attribute to a conspiracy that which can be more readily attributed to cultural forces.
Joe Biden said the phrase "new world order" but it's more likely a Pool's Razor situation not a conspiracy.

Neuwirth's Razor

"Any Situation can be made worse with the addition of poop"
"Stan was already having a bad day. His partner had left him, he was laid off from work, and his cat had run away. In spite of this, Stan decided he would enjoy some barefoot running ( a farvorite pastime). Forgetting Neuwirth's Razor. Stan forgot to check his surroundings before leaving his apartment, and stepped on a freshly deposited cat dropping. "

Anon’s razor

A dictum asserting that the advocacy by a senior UK doctor for Physician Assistants (PAs) or Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) in preference to their own medical trainees invariably indicates a diversion of their clinical duties in favour of private practice. This principle is regarded as an unquestioned truth within certain circles, reflecting a strong conviction about the motivations and priorities of such doctors. Their motives are unearthed by anonymous accounts on social media
“Have you noticed how Dr. Thompson is always pushing for more PAs and ANPs, rather than helping us trainees?” asked Dr. Jones.

“Yeah, it’s like Anon’s Razor in action,” replied Dr. Lee, “He’s probably more focused on his private practice these days.”

Wilford's Razor

Commonly worded as:

"The plausibility of any conspiracy theory is inversely proportional to the level of government hyper‑competence needed to maintain it"

Other wording:
"The plausibility of any conspiracy theory decreases as the level of government hyper-competence required to sustain it increases."

"The plausibility of any conspiracy theory is inversely proportional to the level of government hyper‑competence required to maintain it."

"The plausibility of any conspiracy theory is inversely proportional to the amount of government hyper‑competence it would require to plan, execute, and keep it secret."

In other words:
If a plot needs dozens of agencies to be flawless, leak‑proof, and perfectly coordinated for years… it probably didn’t happen.
Neighbor: “The mayor unleashed a raccoon crisis to distract from the budget meeting.”
You: “I'm invoking Wilford's Razor: City Hall can’t herd three councilmembers—let alone a raccoon militia.”
