The original saying is “If it looks stupid but it works it’s not stupid.” There might even be a kernel of truth in there. But to quote the Maxims: “If it is stupid and it works it is still stupid and you’re lucky.”

Disagree. Just because luck saved your ass doesn’t mean what you did wasn’t stupid.
Winning a round of Russian Roulette doesn’t make you a genius.

There is actually a difference between luck and something that may just work, despite seeming stupid. Using your example: I have to play Russian roulette today to randomly reduce workers - we removed the firing pin. I have to play Russian roulette tomorrow…
