I doubt you can understand the magnitude of the stupidity in your statement

It's not evil, Rand. I know something evil when I smell it. This isn't evil, it's just incredibly stupid.

Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

Stupidity is like bumping into a wall all the time. After a while you get tired of it and try to look the situation over and see if there’s a doorway somewhere. I think most people eventually do look for the doorway and stop bumping into the wall

It never ceases to amaze me that in times of amazing human suffering somebody says something that can be so utterly stupid.

You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity.
