People sometimes refer to this idea as "Occam's Razor", and will zealously apply it as though it has the status of some general scientific principle.

"The end result is a network which breaks down a very complicated question - does this image show a face or not - into very simple questions answerable at the level of single pixels. It does this through a series of many layers, with early layers answering very simple and specific questions about the"
"Neural networks are one of the most beautiful programming paradigms ever invented. In the conventional approach to programming, we tell the computer what to do, breaking big problems up into many small, precisely defined tasks that the computer can easily perform. By contrast, in a neural network we"
"Where does the "softmax" name come from? Suppose we change the softmax function so the output activations are given by aLj=eczLj∑keczLk,(83) where c is a positive constant. Note that c=1 corresponds to the standard softmax function. But if we use a different value of c we get a different function, w"
