This is why I detested Plaintiffs' cases. Most things are not a result of true negligence. They are caused by a confluence of events not all of which could ever be foreseen. But that doesn't stop people crafting a narrative that it's someone's fault, someone's negligence.
Everybody needs a fucking story about why something happened.
I'd say what deserves opprobrium here is our demand that this event be explained to us as a narrative. The fact that despite modern man having been here for thousands of years, we still haven't shed that idiot gene that compels us to have to turn every random set of acts or omissions into a "story" that seems satisfying is really fucking pathetic.
