    Any cause benefited by stupidity is not a good cause. And that does apply to both sides.

      For every cause, there exists some possible circumstance such that one or more individuals having a miscalculation would benefit that cause.

      Proof: Take desired result R. Assume there exists some person P who is opposed to R. Let there be some action that P can take such that R becomes impossible. If there are no downsides to this action, then R will only occur if P makes a miscalculation. ⬜

      Thus, if your maxim holds, then there is no such thing as a good cause.

      A discriminant that labels all causes as “bad” is not useful.

      Therefore, your maxim does not serve as a useful discriminant.
