Competent malevolence might explain its plan, but in an Ozymandias way of doing it. They might explain their reasons and how they pulled it off, but only when everything it's set in motion and nothing can prevent it anymore.

Growing up I also felt that the most awful bullies were the smart ones. The one who understood exactly what they were doing. The dumb ones who just wanted to tear things down or lash out were way less effective at causing real pain and emotional damage.
