Slightly OT, but you are both correct!!

Occams principle was that you should "never unnecessarily multiply
entities".

This is interprated in a simple form as "when the relative complexity of a
variety of solutions are taken into account, the simplest solution tends to
be the correct one"

or "All other things being equal, the simplest explanation tends to be
true."!

All the best,
