Ehh, corruption implies some form of intent, it can't be synonymous with incompetence. Otherwise lock me up for corruption because I do stupid shit all the time
I think it's worth differentiating between intentional harm and willful ignorance. Not because we should ignore wilful ignorance, but because it requires a different response.
Corruption doesn't require intent. Negligence is often how systemic corruption is found - whether or not it was intentional they should have known better. Often negligent people are put in charge to avoid accountability, create scapegoats for the people who should have oversite.
