The brochure has:

>     As an example of Lojban, Occam's Razor ("The simplest 
> explanation is usually the best.") may be translated:
>
>  roda poi velciksi ku'o so'eroi ke ganai sampyrai gi xagrai
>      All somethings-which-are-explanations mostly-are 
>     (if superlatively-simple then superlatively-good).

Isn't this backwards? Shouldn't it rather be:

   so'eroiku ro velciksi ganai sampyrai gi xagrai
   In most cases, each explanation is if simplest then best.
   In most cases, the simplest explanation is the best.

Otherwise, instead of considering for most cases all explanations,
we are considering for each explanation, most times where it may 
apply?
