There seems to be one very important AXIOM which almost every scientist and philosopher has internalized and which is at the heart of the discarding of theories, namely OCCAM'S Razor. Yet this criterion of choice among alternatives doesn't seem to be directly acknowledged.

It is directly acknowledged by Quine! He posits two epistemic norms for theories: maximizing simplicity and minimizing mutilation. The former resembles "Occam's Razor". Moreover, Paul Churchland, in his paper "on The Nature of Theories a Computational Perspective" follows in Quine's footsteps by supplying empirical evidence that simpler theories tend to make better predictors.
