"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." - Hanlon's razor
I've also seen variations that used "incompetence" or the more benign "ignorance" instead of "stupidity". I agree. Effective conspiracy would require efficient planning and execution. Most of what is sometimes blamed on conspiracy is often the result of natural entropy - aided by the catalytic agents stupidity, ignorance, greed, et cetera.
