Someone is more at fault if you prove that a wrong was committed because of malicious intent instead of outright ignorance. People who want to see punishment have an incentive to do this. This is why people try to disregard the insanity defense in court when the defendant is obviously insane. The defendant is insane and "in need of support" until they're sitting in front of a judge, then they're suddenly not

But of course, this doesn't contradict the general point you're making

True. I guess my point is that those who fear for a loss of truth are generally mistaking malicious pretext for ignorance.
