That said, however, it should be pointed out that statistical conclusions are not considered facts, they are considered evidence which should be considered with other evidence.

I also think all math is a lie but I am in love with the simplicity and order it offers.

No that's [Occam's Razor] got nothing to do with it. — Wayfarer

I propose, regarding rationality per se

1) that there are situations where using the razor is rational.
2) that there are situations where using intuition is rational.
3) that there are situations where more than one rational solution can be found with no easy means of picking the best

And now for those of you wish to have science dependent on rationality but not quite the same as being rational ,I can provide a neat answer "what makes science a science"

"Science happens when rationality can be used to arrive at a unique and "best" solution."
