I attempted to list every plausible reason someone would ever invoke Hanlon's razor. My goal is partially to illustrate how ridiculous Hanlon's razor is.

Let me add another to the list. People like to invoke Hanlon's razor to signal how smart they are for knowing what Hanlon's razor is.

Can you provide one actual good reason to use Hanlon's razor, ever? You seem to think he had a good reason that I've missed. What is it?
