My hot take: Incompetence is worse than intent. Intent can be trained away, assessed, managed. Incompetence is eternal. Someone who causes harm by incompetence WILL cause harm by incompetence again.
The guy who killed his wife for cheating on him? Likely not going to kill anyone else, at least until/if he gets married again, and even then, not likely. The guy who killed someone else's wife because he was texting while driving? He's 100% chance gonna text and drive again, and create the exact same scenario again.
