I specifically thought that might be the case as I was posting, so apologies for the useless comment. I should have listened to my conscious on that one. That being said though, allow me to take the opportunity to express the utter disdain and contempt I have for the reference of Hanlon's razor. First off, any rule that uses the word "never" is already probably going to be wrong most of the time. Secondly, there are innumerable instances where stupidity would work in place of malice despite the fact that it was actually malice. I see it used almost exclusively by apologetics of some sort or another. It's a useless straw man of a logical fallacy not conducive to intellectual debate. It's official, Hanlons razor should be put into retirement and not used by anyone with a respect for logic and rationality.
