Hanlon's razor
Hanlon's razor is a saying that reads:
In simpler words: some bad things happen not because of people having bad intentions, but because they did not think it through properly.
The quotation is attributed to Robert J. Hanlon of Scranton, Pennsylvania, US. According to his friend Joseph Bigler, Hanlon first used it as part of something he wrote for a compilation of various jokes related to Murphy's law. The compilation book was published in 1980 titled "Murphy's Law Book Two, More Reasons Why Things Go Wrong". The name was inspired by Occam's razor.
There are many similar sayings. One example is ""Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence"", which has been attributed to science fiction author Robert Heinlein’s short story "Logic of Empire" in 1941 and erroneously to Napoleon Bonaparte.
