Hanlon's Razor, paraphrased:  "Never attribute to malice that which can
be adqeuately explained by [bitrot]."

Actually, the Goethe quote from [1] is even more apropos:
"[M]isunderstandings and neglect create more confusion in this world than
trickery and malice. At any rate, the last two are certainly much less
frequent."
