I think there needs to be a new kind of 'razor': 'Never attribute mistakes to stupidity that benefit the ones making them'

The dressing up of purely malicious or greedy actions as merely resonable ones, that were executed poorly has become incredibly prevalent in the modern world.

It’s Grey’s law: any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
