Do you mean Hanlon's?
- sketerpot 17y agoHanlon's razor is a pretty straightforward application of Occam's razor to sociology, as far as I'm concerned.
- alanthonyc 17y agoHah. I think either one would work.
- gjm11 17y agoI have a variant on Hanlon's Razor that I find particularly appropriate when dealing with telephone companies, utility companies, government bureaucracies, etc.: Never attribute to benevolence what can be explained by incompetence. Conveniently, this principle also gives the same answer to the question of why McGraw said what he did.
