Except, Occam's razor presumes that at least one of the possible
explanations is correct.  

I personally struggle with this constantly as I am a Chinese historian but
not Chinese.  I can have two perfectly plausible and reasonable assertions
that explain a situation *as I see it* but often neither is wholly correct
because of my preconceived ideas of the field of study based on my western
background.
