yes, one version is “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”.... there is also, “don’t assume malice when it may be incompetence” or something like that.
I had ‘stupidity,’ in the quote originally, and then I decided to be a shade more politic. I do, however, believe that a lot of what appears to be willful misunderstanding is simply a function of the Qers struggle to grasp any thought that deviates from the Q Safe Space pablum. They wear very restrictive lens and have difficulty grasping anything that doesn’t fit the template.
