    Erm ackshually that’s not really a valid application of hanlon’s razor because the entities being referred to as stupid or malicious are two separate beings

      That’s not a requirement of Hanlon’s razor. Stupidity can be introduced at any point in the process. If a commander orders a firing squad to form a circle and they shoot each other, that’s on the commander, not the squad for shooting each other.
