One should try their best to make sense of reality before making moral arguments. That's what epistemological tools are for, like Hanlon's razor. Whether moral implications are downstream is unrelated to what the razor is, which you claimed to know but don't.
You seem to be claiming that intent is not related to justice or blame, which would result in an inhumanely cruel justice system where punishments don't fit crimes.
But don't worry, I attribute your proposal to stupidity not malice
I see that you are unaware of basic legal/moral concepts like “negligence” [1] if you think such standards are inhumanely cruel.
Thankfully, legal systems are not that inhumanly stupid.
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negligence
negligence as a cause carries a different legal weight than malicious intent, eg. manslaughter is a different crime that murder. a system that disregards intent, as you seem to be advocating with statements like "any stupidity indistinguishable from malice should be treated the same." would treat manslaughter and murder as the same crime.
