Sure.

One thing about Occam's Razor is the "all things being equal" preconcept to it.  So, if all things are not equal, then it cannot be applied.  The simplest answer is only true if all data are equal, and they rarely are.  But yes, captured, stupid, evil thief all could apply.

But it explains his passive "you can't touch me" mentality, because thats how a captured pawn like Sabu acts after capture, for example.
