T1: In heaven all houses are yellow
T2: In heaven all houses are green.

Okay, but in that case the two are equally simple.

If we changed it to:

T1: In heaven all houses are yellow.
T2: In heaven all houses are green and have doorbells that sound like tamborines.

I'd bet on T1 if I had to bet.

Is this what you're saying?

T1 'make some stuff up'
T2 'make more stuff up than T1 did'

T2 is more likely to be wrong than T1
