Is there a position with the stupidest possible move?

I define a stupid move as a move that

  1. puts the opponent in zugzwang so that all their moves result in mate in one (weaker version: a loss);
  2. is chosen instead of a move that gives mate in one (weaker version: a limited number of moves).

A move is more stupid as the ratio of type 2 moves over type 1 moves grows. I'm looking for a position with the most stupid move possible.

This question is similar to these interesting questions:
