of parsimony

The Principle "of parsimony" infers that a phenomena can be explained best with the simplest hypothesis that accounts for all the evidence. Since we can only tell the difference between something that is true and something that is false, by inferring our own observations and using the general rule to make a guess, adding entities to a hypothesis that are not accounted for by evidence results in a hypothesis that is not parsimonious and less believable than prior.

This is referred to and explained in Occam's Razor, which follows the same basic principle.

The word may also be used to infer simplicity, or the state of a hypothesis in which it explains a phenomenon using entities suggested by evidence, and no absolutely more.

"Your hypothesis for insert phenomena, i.e.gravitational effects derived from atomic warp of spacetime was fine until you added entity to it, we have no evidence for that, you're just making stuff up, we observed the electromagnetic fluctuation before in CERN, why do you need to make it more complex, just do the math and see if it works, trust me it seems accurate enough already. Just apply the Principle of parsimony!"

Blowing up Parliment

Something that, after viewing V for Vendetta, one may be inclined to talk about doing. Usually said person has no real political agenda, they just thought the movie scene was badass and would enjoy partaking in an equally cinematic experience. Though one may talk about blowing up Parliment, or even amass a group of people to do so, it is unlikely they will ever carry out their plans for fear of life in jail.

Tim saw V for Vendetta, and for a few days, he seemed preoccupied with the idea of blowing up Parliment. Upon eventually realizing that this action would not be as badass as in the movie and that it would ruin his life, Tim stopped recruiting people to fly to London and purchase C4 from the black market.
