Anyone can do what if scenarios to validate their point. When you start to do this things tend to get convoluted. Of course in your scenario the stupid Dr would be worse.
I could counter with a charismatic person that appears to be decent but is out to slip something in someone's drink to then take them for their own pleasure, whatever that pleasure may be.....or a stupid guy was convinced to go rob several houses of their electronics.
We could do scenarios all day long but we would go no where. Or maybe your answer is situational?
I'm just convinced that there is a balance in all things. Nature, human behavior, ideas....there always seems to be a balance and when the balance is thrown off, forces come in to correct. Isn't that why we are all here on this site. We feel the balance is off and are trying to change that. With that line of thought (this is just my opinion) evil or stupid being worse, it doesn't matter in the end because everything gets corrected at some point.
I was just trying to clearly isolate cases of evil and stupidity. Willful ignorance and incompetence is a hallmark of stupidity, and it is not far to think of it as a form of evil. That's all the point was. Therefore, we have an obligation not to be stupid.
