Simple, but not simpler
Came across this post Simple, but not simpler which starts off with this alleged quote from Albert Einstein "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler". Which turns out wasn't the words he actually used. Apparently that is a paraphrase of the full quote "The supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience" see Occam's Razor. Seems the world started out by simplifying his quote.
