Hanlon's razor is foolish; every who's up to no good knows the "pretend it was an accident" trick. Children figure it out.
Not assuming malice is a good policy in ordinary everyday situations, but the razor lacks that nuance and says to Never assume malice, which is going too far.
- teekert 4y agoStill best to initially assume no malicy because it is insulting if it really wasn't. I typically adhere to Hanlon's razor because of this.
- jjoonathan 4y ago"Initially assume" is good policy, "never attribute" is bad policy.
