59. Not sure you know how to use that razor

The guy obviously had an obsessive disorder, based on the evidence.

That is the most likely explanation.

But attempting to apply a rule of logic to what is a moral judgment is a bizarre thing in the first place.

We know an awful lot about Hitler's biography and behavior over a period of years.

You know zilch about this guy, his life, or his mental or physical condition. But, again, the only thing we do know is that he obsessively took notes on perceived personal slights, which is NOT NORMAL.

So, under Occam's Razor, you throw out the facts and go with your gut. Got it.
