The '''Inverted Occam's Razor''' is an ironic metapher for an inverted use of [[Occam's Razor|minimalistic principles]] in Science. This principle is often used in [[Pseudoscience|pseudoscientific]] argumentation, which claims that improbable causes and unreasonable causal chains make a phenomenon plausible. Typical examples are the study of [[crop circle]] phenomena (Cereology) and of [[UFO]]s
