Me and my dad agree on most things, politically. But he still holds to Hanlon, while I've reached the point I no longer care if it's malice or stupidity, it needs to be punished as if it were malice. After all these "Oops, it was a mistake in our favor, lol" incidents, it's clear stupidity is the perfect disguise for malice.
What's the point of their intention if the result is the same? If you are so stupid you can accidentally convince people you are malicious, you deserve to be treated as if you are.
Hanlon's is a coward's excuse to never have to hold anyone accountable.
