Sorry, due to Hanlon's Razor, we have to accept that every politician who feigns ignorance while collecting massive checks is operating in good faith. We still have to accept that good faith after we've loudly, painstakingly and publicly explained the details to them, because they may be deaf or have memory issues.

Heinlein’s Razor! Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don’t rule out malice.

Sufficiently advanced malice disguises itself as stupidity.

Seriously, Hanlon's Razor seems a bit naive, especially when politics are concerned. Heinlein's reminds us to maintain a critical view.
