    Please clarify your question. You used the word eccentric which generally implies an obscurity and complexity that generally goes against Occam’s Razor… so what, actually, are you looking for?

      What’s the most verbose attempt to eschew obfuscation on record?

      Eccentric meaning the example that would be considered the most foolish or far out. I didn’t know a better synonym if the word eccentric doesn’t work. Most skeptics would understand the use of the word eccentric, but to give an example, the other day I met a little kid who couldn’t understand why the moon is invisible during its full moon stages and why it looks like a cloud, and the little kid said she thought the moon was just a cloud which has turned into rain during the new moon, only to evaporate again. But of course, this is a little kid, so in this case it’s not unnatural.

        Maybe incredulous is a better word than eccentric
