Quick question: is that proper usage of "parsimoniously"? I've only seen it used as a synonym for "stingy," which is close, but not quite the same as the "succinctly" synonym usage here. But I'm aware that regions and time periods drift in word usage, so you aren't necessarily wrong.

Occam's Razor is also known as the Principle of Parsimony; I was using it in that sense.

Occam's Razor? interesting. I thought I was applying this one: the simplest mental strategies able to propel you to the top of the capitalist and media elite. "Being incredibly impulsive" may seems straightforwardly "true" but it does not look "sufficient" as explanation to me.

Maybe The truth is somewhere in the middle. I don't know.
