"stupidity is no defence, but people will be kinder to you for it. after all, how could you know better. if you do know better on the other hand... "

I'd agree that being a good person who does bad things out of stupidity is better than a genuinely immoral person.

However, I also tend to respect people more who are wrong for intelligent reasons rather than wrong for stupid reasons.

There are also times when I'd rather be around an intelligent amoral person than a blundering idiot with good intentions.

I'm not sure whether either sentiment applies in this case though. I don't really have much basis to make an assessment of good character or intelligence for either of the people in the comic.
