Graham pointed me at Grey’s Law which is another form of Hanlon’s Razor.
First you take Hanlon’s Razor:
“Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.”
Then you modify it to take the form of Clark’s third law:
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
Which results in Grey’s Law:
“Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”
Not shockingly, this came up in a conversation about phone companies.
