Sure it is valid, but in reality most scientists don’t religiously stick to Ockham’s razor and oppose alternative theories that give correct predictions.

If hard sticking to Ockham’s razor was true, Quantum loop Gravity, String Theory and many other theories wouldn’t be intensively studied for past 50 years. Or development and studying interpretations of quantum mechanics (which btw yielded results in Quantum Information Theory).

It’s just that constructing something correct and new IS really hard.
