Hanlon's Razor

What is Hanlon's Razor?


1.

Hanlon's Razor is a saying commonly summarized as "Never assume malice when stupidity will suffice". Named for "Robert Hanlon"--probably a corruption of the author Robert Heinlein. There are many variations, but the general idea is that same. Also known in British English as the "Cock-Up Theory".

Person 1: Dude, my stimulus check was $600 less than it should be. The government is trying to screw me!

Person 2: Hanlon's Razor, man. They probably had faulty information for you.
