Although Hanlon’s razor says “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”, I’d argue never misjudge malicious intent for stupidity. The first makes you just look a bit dumb, the second makes you a victim.

After a certain tipping point, stupidity en masse becomes indistinguishable from malice. The result is more important than the intent.
