A quote from Napoleon Bonaparte

Never ascribe to conspriracy that which is adequately explained by incompetence. Incompetence is an easy scapegoat.

唔好當一樣可以用蠢解釋嘅嘢做陰謀. 蠢只是替罪的羔羊.

A practical observation on the risks of stupidity (蠢) was made by the German General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord in Truppenführung, 1933: "I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each officer possesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Use can be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!"

德國將軍 Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord 響 Truppenführung（1933年）留意到蠢嘅實際風險。渠話：「我分我啲軍官做四類；精、懶、勤、蠢。 呢啲質素每一軍官都有至少兩種。又精又勤嗰啲適合做最高參謀（staff appointments）。又蠢又懶嘅可用得到。 而又精又懶嘅就啱做最高指揮；渠有應付任何情況嘅性格同膽(temperament and nerves)。但又蠢又勤嗰啲，係種威脅，要即刻整走！
