      Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

      Turns out my ribs don’t actually care whether the boot that cracked them came from a decisive kick or because someone clumsily tripped over me.

      (Also sufficiently advanced malice is often indistinguishable from incompetence by design: “oops we didn’t mean to, please forgive us and we pRoMiSe we won’t get caught do it again!”)

        says horrifying thing

        waits for reaction

        If positive reaction: all good.

        If negative reaction: “Calm down, it was just a joke.”

        Yep, that last part is … basically the most important concept of running a large organization, if you’re a corpo/evil bureaucrat.

        The obfuscation is the point.

        The ‘I thought I was in compliance’ is the point.

        The ‘this is too complex to assign blame simply’…

        That is the fucking point, of designing and running a system that works in that way.
