"Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance" is pure bullshit.
I’ll say what I always say: people always leave out the important part of the saying. It’s “never attribute to malice without evidence what could be explained by stupidity.” There’s evidence galore. (The jury’s still out on whether the heuristic itself has been mangled by malice or stupidity).
