Of course you are right - you don't "assume bad faith" by calling
someone's misguided, wrongheaded and stupid action such. That's
a matter of subjective perception (as you call it, evidence). 

It is however WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA that prevent you from calling it so.

Hint: You can always call someone a troll. It looks like that's
not a personal attack or anything incivil, but a constructive
criticism of someone's editing habit.
