- WalterBright 3y agoThat is an old rule: Don't mistake malice for bungling.
- whateveracct 3y agoThat rule doesn't work in the modern age. The modern malicious clearly try to cloud there BS in incompetence.
- WalterBright 3y agoIt isn't necessary to emulate incompetence. Incompetence and bungling is the default state, and very hard to avoid.
