"Don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity".

I think taking application fees even when they are at least 10 years away from their goal is absurd and probably unethical, but it looks like their team has a sincere desire to make the mission happen. Its threads like this that make me wish HN was not so cynical.



Remember to quote it correctly:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

The differences may be subtle, but the meaning is quite distinct from the way you phrased it.


Blah blah blah
