occam’s razor is the idea that even when it comes to more complex matters we tend to favor the simple explanation over the complicated one.
the occam's razor of strategic theory: the relevance of clausewitz for political conduct - military strategy magazine
while it may be contended that much of clausewitz’s writings are of limited relevance to contemporary military practice, his injunctions about the relationship between war and policy contain an enduring significance for political conduct more generally, especially in the accentuation of the need to act with proportionality and the problems that are created when this principle is ignored.
