    Hanlon’s Razor has been weaponized too many times

    And the rich, affluent, and powerful are thankful for it.

    An act of malice is a crime.
    An act of stupidity is specifically not.

    Whom does Hanlon’s Razor benefit?
    An accosted’s peace of mind, or an accoster’s ass?

      Ignorance of the law is not a defense and stupidity definitely leads to about the same amount of crimes as malice.
