Hanlon's Razor-thin Defense: using the phrase "Hanlon's razor" to suggest incompetence when the available evidence clearly suggests significant malice as a motivation.

In recent months I've seen people (here and on Facebook) invoking Hanlon's Razor as if it were a magical phrase to end all argument, in discussions of Microsoft and other tech giants' anti-consumer behavior, big tech aggressive promotin of #genAI, astroturfed opposition to #UBI, and even once a defense of ICE tactics. Sometimes #HanlonsRazor feels like a fig leaf.
