@julianruf Clark's Law:

Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor

Same page also suggests (via LessWrong) a filter:

• Never assume malice when stupidity will suffice.
• Never assume stupidity when ignorance will suffice.
• Never assume ignorance when forgivable error will suffice.
• Never assume error when information you hadn't adequately accounted for will suffice.

Therefore, never assume malice when information you hadn't adequately accounted for will suffice.
