Apparently, stupid is somewhat OK.
I just stumbled upon this wonderful tidbit from an administrative law judge in an FAA enforcement case:
The administrative law judge for the case made an interesting comment: “I do not find that the act of mooning comes up to the level requiring the revocation of an ATP. We have not yet reached the point where stupidity alone is grounds for revocation of an ATP.” The judge reduced the pilot’s punishment from revocation to a 20-day suspension.

The salient question in this case was did person, or persons, subjected to the mooning deserve it? If they were toolbags, then case dismissed, as this was a case of self-defense.

Stupidity while operating an aviation appliance, maybe. Stupidity alone, we'd all be out of work at some point.

Agree that "stupidity" is subjective. However, we need to move more to civil law rather than criminal law standards.....IMHO
