I thought Hanlon's razor pertained to malice, not courage. Is there no distinction between the two?

You're right about the malice bit. Maybe there are corollaries?

It's not listed on Wikipedia's list of philosophical razors, so I guess that means you get to name it :)

Mr. Unicorn Man's razor: Never attribute to courage that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Wouldn't that be Etterra's razor? Or do logical principles work of the "first published" method of naming?

Good point, it should probably be Etterra's razor.
