# 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.
