Answer 1

Actually, it can, at least at the beginning of the play. Claudius estimated that by murdering his brother, he would be king and marry Gertrude. His judgement was sound. Claudius decided that a diplomatic solution to the Fortinbras problem would work. His judgement was sound. After observing Hamlet's conversation with Ophelia in Act III Scene 1, he concludes that Polonius was wrong, that Hamlet's problem is not love, but something else "on which his mind sets on brood." His judgement is dead on. When Laertes bursts in threatening to kill him, Claudius estimates that he can talk Laertes out of his anger and does not need (or want) Gertrude's help. She is right to trust his judgement here. It is only in accepting Laertes as a co-conspirator and agreeing to a sloppy and dangerous plan for revenge that we see his judgement falter.
