Sorry for probably not getting your point: are you saying that principles are easy to find? That the PSR is tautological? That every principle is tautological? Something else?

2-ish If you, e.g., treat causation as the "shape over time" of an event, then PSR becomes "every event has a shape", which says almost nothing, similar to "every circle is a roundness". And why not define causation that way?
