Stop using Hanlon's Razor. The only thing it cuts is the people using it over and over again. Say it with me: stupidity is weaponized so as to be indistinguishable from malice.

I am willing to extend the Razor to clueless individuals at most. It does NOT apply to corporations.

This is a corporation. They know exactly what they are doing.

Have you ever worked in a corporation?

Yes. I actually have my own company. Always assume they have an army of lawyers backing their every move. I know I do.

Ah. And you think lawyers know what they’re doing.

They know just enough to enable the corporation's strategic incompetence whenever the situation calls for it.
