Thanks for applying Hanlon's razor.

Thanks for applying Hanlon's razor.

So when a logician insists that only truth-preserving (deductive, not inductive) arguments are valid, he is demonstrating his stupidity?

Ah, that's too specific an interpretation of Hanlon's razor. The razor does not say that the malice and the stupidity need all come from the same party.
