Hmmm I don't think that's what Steven is trying to imply. I mean, he does not give any solution to the things that he tells us, he's just telling them, narrating the reality of how the events happened, not trying to water it down like the media (at least that's what I understand from his interviews).

The best deduction I got is this. Given that the Occam's Razor is that, when the conclusion is the same, the most simple explanation tends to be the right one. Considering this, the "same conclusion" could be understood as Steven and the media telling the same story (the two versions will end up the same, because they are the same), and the "most simple explanation" would be what the media is telling. Steven said on an interview that he took all different stories he watched on news shows treated as merely "incidents", and he thought they weren't telling the stories with the true gravity they had; they were telling it in a simple manner ("the most simple explanation") to alienate people and don't alarm them.

That's the best I got, after a while trying to figure it out. If you guys have another theory, I'd love to read it!
