People are much more likely do do a stupid thing out of irrational behaviour; it would be more likely due to other emotions such as disgust, rage, spite etc ... or so my Hufflepuff mother would say. I think stupid things done out of love can be incredibly stupid, even without lust in the equation. However, love has the merit of making the stupid act not irretrievable, so it depends on the act. One of many things done out of sheer selfishness under the guise of love is suicide. Despair in the guise of love, no matter what type (platonic, romantic, etc) is more destructive than plain hatred.
