 The pithy formulation is “Senses are not to be multiplied beyond necessity”, alluding to Ockham. If a phenomenon can be explained and predicted in terms of psycho-social principles, then it is theoretically more economical to do so than to posit senses and the like, which cannot be so explained. Grice’s Razor is often invoked to support classifying the exclusive interpretation of “p or q” as an implicature rather than as a second sense  (§5).
