ELI5: What Hanlon’s Razor is.

The textbook definition, “Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity,” has been confusing me for a while.

You go to a door and grab the door handle to open it. The door handle is shaped weird and has sharp edges. 

You could assume that the person who made the door handle that way is an evil jerk who was trying to cut your fingers.

You could also assume that the person who made the door handle was an idiot who probably didn't care about you or anyone who might actually use that door.

Hanlon says you should assume the latter: there are more lazy or stupid or uneducated people that accidently ruin your day, than there are bad guys who are trying to ruin your day.
