Monday 28 March 2011: Adequately Explained

"Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence"

- Napoleon Bonaparte

(A similar quote "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice" is attributed to Robert Heinlein and termed "Heinlein's Razor")

When I noticed that the window behind the help | about box was a paper about assessing competence it sealed the deal for me. ;-)
