"Dieu a choisi celuy qui est... le plus simple en hypotheses et le plus riche en phenomenes" [God has chosen that which is the most simple in hypotheses and the most rich in phenomena] "Mais quand une regle est fort composée, ce qui luy est conforme, passe pour irrégulier" [But when a rule is extremely complex, that which conforms to it passes for random] --- Leibniz, Discours de métaphysique, VI,
