Gaurava

(“[needless] complexity”) In Indian
logic, one of the faults to be avoided in
constructing and pursuing an argument. According to the principle of
“simplicity” (laghava), when one is presented with two equally plausible theories, one should choose the theory that
is easier to understand and makes the
fewest assumptions. The primary criterion in evaluating any argument is the
validity of the argument itself, and it is
only after this has been satisfied that
one may raise objections based on complexity or simplicity.
