 There are many ways we can think of parsimony (see Sober 2015). We don’t need to get too technical here. We think that the most plausible view favoring parsimony would hold that, other things being equal, a theory is objectionable insofar as it entails the existence of more kinds of thing than a competing theory does. On this reading, we are getting close to the suggestion that queerness is a matter of adding a fundamental kind to our ontology, especially if parsimony applies (or is especially strong) only at the level of fundamental kinds.
