Occam's Broom vs. Occam's Razor: A potentially deceptive model of simplification

Occam's Broom is a term invented by molecular biologist Sidney Brenner and is a creative play on the mental model of Occam's Razor. Occam's broom refers to the process by which unfavorable facts are "swept" under the rug by intellectually dishonorable proponents of a certain viewpoint or theory when the unfavorable information does not support their views.
