Hanlon's Razor is qiite rusty compared to Occam's, and it's self-evidentness is massively in question. It's more a crutch leaned on to lubricate interaction between executive decision makers than anything else.

Unfortunately, I've seen it cut the user more than the situation in my lifetime.

We could cut the prison population by 90% if poor people got the benefit of Hanlon's Razor.
