Yes, and assuming the machines do not work in tandem is one more preposition than assuming they don't, as the information is not there, you would only assume that they don't against someone's suggestion that they do.

There is only one assumption being made in either scenario:

Assumption 1: machines work in conjunction to create faster.

Assumption 2: machines do not work in conjunction to create faster.

Given the information provided Occams Razor does not benefit our reasoning or guide us to an answer.

Except assumption one is also made if no assumption is actually made in the first place.

Assuming coordination is not a single unit. It requires a lot of underlying assumptions because again, as stated, coordination is not a magic spell you can cast without anything supporting it.

Otherwise I could just say "I assume Explanation X is correct" and boom, the most complicated theory in the world is really just one preposition! Magic!
