Hanlon's razor is an eponymous adage that allows the elimination of unlikely explanations for a phenomenon. It reads:
- Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
This particular form is attributed to a Robert J. Hanlon. However, earlier utterances that convey the same basic idea are known.
