Ockham's razor, entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate, is stood on its head: the simplest geometric construction always requires the full number of objects for topological reasons, and you can always have excess, but you may never have shortfall. The article is full of conjectures about the number of singular points (Cusps, criminal self-tangencies) required in geometric or wave constructions, and the topological reasons requiring at least the known minimum number of such objects. The article is deliberately informal. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0929.00102].
