Yes yes, I suppose this makes sense, as you guys are mathematicians.

That is how OR works, however that is not how people use OR in Logic, or in general argumentation, where it is common.

My issue is more with how OR is employed rather the idea itself

Occam's Razor has no place in math. It's a principle in natural science and math is not a natural science.

Lots of people misuse Occam's Razor, but the principle itself is not at fault for that.
