No, we don't agree, and it is not me who finally got it. You explicitly wrote: "It means exactly what it says: never attribute [action] to malice" which I explicitly disagreed with.
Either you have changed your mind, in which case you have no business acting as if you were right all along, or we don't agree.

Yes, you could. Nobody can read your mind, only your words. Try not being so arrogant next time.

Well, which is it? Do we not agree, or have I "finally got it" ("it" being, I assume, what you're trying to convey)? Because if I finally got what you're saying, then that suggests we would be in agreement. Or maybe you mean you've changed your position and I "finally got" your original argument, but now you're onto a new one. If that is the case, then please clarify your new position so I can finally get that one as well.
The saying presents a false dichotomy, which is highlighted here:
>...stop and consider whether stupidity is an adequate explanation. And if it is, then don't attribute it to malice
This is a false dichotomy because it is saying if stupidity is present, then don't attribute it to malice. But both can be present at the same time, in which case rejecting malice would be incorrect. Do you understand now? It is very simple, and this is what I wrote toward the top of the thread. You're grasping at straws here, and my position has not changed the entire time.
Please, read the saying again, read our discussion again, and think about it before you respond. What you're writing is incorrect.
