What is the boundary between deduction and pareidolia? Where should Occam razor stop?

Long I stopped trying to convince people, there is no gain in that. And long I have stopped listening to people trying to convince me I am wrong on my theories.

I simple take the info I can get and then make my own assumptions

There are simply too many coincidences that point to 13 crew members, so imho it cant be just pareidolia all the time

Already pointed out this in the past.

> All the foreshadowing for 13 Straw Hats: mega-post.

Summary:

> Blackbeard is probably going to be one of the main foes of the last narrative arc. He used the term "Titans" to refer to his crew. In Greek mythology there are 12 titans, add the captain and you get 13. Blackbeard mirrors Luffy in many ways as his dark counterpart so you expect Luffy crew would have 13 people too.

> Luffy crew is the only one that has a name without the word "pirate" in it. While they are also the one that does not behave as pirates (they are basically just explorers that oppose the world government) it is relevant to note the name: Mugiwara no Ichimi. Ichimi means crew, so it is the "Mugiwara (= straw hat)" Crew. But ichimi is also a wordplay that means "13"

> the covers for the first 13 chapters of the manga have weird references to the crew members. The first 10 are almost perfect matches. The last three kinda work too for Carrot, Yamato and Vivi.

The bunch of "random cats" in this picture are obviously expy of Luffy crew.

some are simply too blatant to be coincidences - the Nami cat on top, the Jinbe cat with the sake cup and "Zoro" cat with the bottle and wearing the same green sash Zoro has.

@SPArcheon yeah, I remember these

the Thousand Sunny literally has "1" and "3" as the default numbers on its sides

It is widespread, constant and has to be deliberate.

I remember
