- TremendousJudge 4y agoHanlon's razor applies here I think. Don't attribute to "the enemy" what can be adequately explained by incompetence.
- mnadkvlb 4y agoMaybe. but existance of leaders like Gerhard Schröder displays a different story. (he is sitting on russian gas companies’ boards, after heavily going against nuclear). No shit the leaders failed the country for their own gains, seems like.
- barrenko 4y agoThe incompetent and the corrupt and more often than not the same person.
- lallysingh 4y agoThey don't know what the right answer is, but they know the answer that gets them paid.
- chrisdhoover 4y agoI think you just made a statement that should be repeated often and attributed to you. Barrenko’s corallary or something. Somebody help me with the name. I want see this used and a Wikipedia entry on it
- lallysingh 4y agoBe careful. Incompetence is an almost infinite sink for blame, and it's easy to misattributed to it what really belongs somewhere else.
- anamax 4y agoIncompetence doesn't have a bias. Malice does. More to the point, Hanlon's Razor is usually an excuse to do nothing, which is a mistake. It's better to assume that people intend the likely outcome of their actions. If they want to claim stupidity/incompetence as a defene, that's on them.
