There’s an intent behind Occam’s razor. When Einstein improved on Newton’s gravity, gravity itself didn’t change. Rather, our understanding of gravity was improved by a better model. We could say though that Newton’s model is not gravity because we have found instances where gravity does not behave the way Newton predicted.
Underlying Occam’s razor is the simple idea that we should prefer simple ideas. Over time we have found ways to formalize this statement in ways that are universally applicable. These formalizations are getting closer and closer to what Occam’s razor is.

I’ll accept that.
