I'm glad you've reinstated your answers - no need for economy here; the more food for thought the better :) And +1 for the Textual Criticism and Editorial Technique reference. I have to admit I didn't know of it until now.
Feb 11, 2018 at 16:45 comment added Alex B. "because I cannot find a tidy definition anywhere" - I encountered the same problem. I've even looked it up in Martin West Textual Criticism and Editorial Technique - the principle of economy is not even mentioned there, at least under this name, and we can't ask him directly because he passed way a couple of years ago.
