Listen, when you've had only a few hours of sleep for 3 nights in a row, the ONLY thing that registers when they cry is "Are they bleeding"? If they aren't, you keep walking. You are trying to simplify something that is not simple.

Are there bad parents? Of course. Are all parents bad? Of course not.

Life is just not that simple. Parenting even less so.

Did I say all parent are bad? No. In fact I specifically called out the existence of good parents, and I didn’t even make succeeding in quieting the kid a prerequisite, only the effort.

The good parent/ bad parent public behavior thing really is quite simple. The good ones try, the bad ones don’t even seem to know anything is happening.
