+# Hanlon's Razor
+
+[Hanlon's razor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor)
+
+> "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
+
+## Etymology
+
+The identity of the eponymous Hanlon is uncertain.
+I find the attribution to Heinlein most compelling
+on account of I don't know how to pronounce Heinlein either.
+
+## Trivia
+
+I first heard of Douglas Hubbard while reading the Wikipedia article for Hanlon's razor,
+which at the time featured a quote from [[hubbard_2020_failure]].
+Based on the quote alone I bought a copy.
