Logical fallacy.

How?

Begging the Question. "The fallacy of petitio principii, or "begging the question", is committed "when a proposition which requires proof is assumed without proof", or more generally denotes when an assumption is used, "in some form of the very proposition to be proved, as a premise from which to deduce it"" Welton (1905), 279.

Yes, you're definitely trolling your own thread.

Occam's razor is an activity undertaken in the midst of marshalling arguments to constitute proof, and NOT an argument in itself.

Pull your head out of your ass.
