Do not attribute to courage that which can be attributed to stupidity.
Also, "Never Attribute to Malice That Which Is Adequately Explained by Stupidity/Incompetence", one form of Hanlon's razor.
So, Transitively, courage is not malicious?
I've seen more small birds harassing large ones than the other way around. Agility is important in the air. And surprise is important to how large birds hunt.
Though the bird in the picture might be asking for it to get that close while not in the air.
Which razor is this? I like it.
Gillette Vector Pro Plus 3000 with advanced cooling gel pad. Makes your face look like a boiled egg.
Also known as Hanlon's razor.
I thought Hanlon's razor pertained to malice, not courage. Is there no distinction between the two?
You're right about the malice bit. Maybe there are corollaries?
It's not listed on Wikipedia's list of philosophical razors, so I guess that means you get to name it :)
Mr. Unicorn Man's razor: Never attribute to courage that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Wouldn't that be Etterra's razor? Or do logical principles work of the "first published" method of naming?
Good point, it should probably be Etterra's razor.
