Actually Occam's razor is in favor of shkanon.
It is by far a simpler explanation of EP6 than any other theory so far.

With a single theory you explain:

- why there are only 17 persons including erika

- how kanon managed to escape from the sealed room

- how kanon disappeared from the closed room

- why kanon and shannon are "less than human"

- why it's impossible for both the george-shannon and jessica-kanon couples to be together.



without shkanon you need

One theory explaining how it is possible that Erika doesn't exist.

One theory explaining how kanon escaped from the sealed room (usually Kanon-Kinzo)

One theory explaining how Kanon "magically" disappeared from the closed room

One theory explaining the meaning of the whole "love test".


that's four theories in place of one. But the most relevant thing is that it is a fact that EP6 heavily hints shkanon in several occasions from the start to the end. Even those who do not like the shkanon theory recognize that, although they claim it is a troll.

It might be a troll, but following Occam's razor logic it is a lot easier that things are exactly as they appears rather than there is some kind of conspiracy to make them seem that way when they are not.


You can say that this is a fictional story and therefore Occam's razor logic doesn't work in this contest (which is perfectly reasonable as Oliver explained), but not that Occam's razor works against the shkanon theory.
As difficult as it is to explain the shkanon theory, the other options are even more complex.
