Reconsidering

I used to think that one should never attribute to malice that which is explained by stupidity.

I am coming to think that anything which is sufficiently explained by malice needn't be examined for stupidity.

It hardly matters which causes things, but you're better prepared to deal with it if you act like it was malicious rather than stupid.

    I do believe that you are on to something. Certainly, in the context of "the difference between conspiracy theory, and "everybody knows that" is around 3 months".
