Sufficiently advanced malice disguises itself as incompetence.

  Sufficiently advanced? I'm pretty sure there are five year olds who have learned the magic phrase "I didn't mean to!"

    You're absolutely right. Yet for some reason it seems popular to discount that possibility. Particularly when invoking the thought terminating cliche that is "Hanlon's Razor."

      For an entry in a joke book, it has done a surprising amount of damage. edit - specifically, that mighty tome of great knowledge; 'Murphy's Law Book Two: More Reasons Why Things Go Wrong!', by Arthur Bloch.

      Only idiots invoke "Hanlon's Razor" not jokingly. It's such an incredibly shallow and stupid thought indeed. I like the way you put it: "thought terminating." That's what stupid people generally prefer to do with arguments.
