feeding hungry people

[Henry Mu]

Given:
Mines
Food, dispersed by drifting down from planes
Hungry Children

Hmmm. Sure sounds dangerous to me, in my ignorance of facts to the contrary.
I don't know about you, but when something makes simple sense, be it a an
explanation of the past or an analysis of what may be happening or will soon
happen, it takes a leap of faith or hard facts from a believable source to
get me to think otherwise.

<<In the face of uncertainty based on limited facts, apply Occam's Razor.>>

This makes no sense. Occam's razor suggests that the simplest logical
solution, in the absence of contravening evidence, is likely to be correct.

What is the application here, to a case of someone speaking of his own
imaginings as if they were true, as if they had already occurred?
