Agreed. The original quote has been a boon for evil actors for the last 20 years, letting evil shift the blame to incompetence.
Occam's Razor is a useful tool for interpersonal relationships, recognizing your friend is more likely to have been thoughtless rather than spiteful.

I've been increasingly tempted to shift my beliefs to "In matters of importance, serve the same punishment for incompetence as malice." While it means well-meaning people can be punished, those people know it going into the situation, while low-merit and malicious people will stay away.
