I thought the point being made was it can be seen to represent the basic nature of inductive sciences, in that there are always
multiple ways to explain any data set (although we might prefer those
which we think show simplicity, elegance, etc.)
Consider a graph of a sine function where you have only the points
representing the maximum amplitude, or any set of points that are
multiples of the wavelength apart - the best guess would be a
straight line.)
