If there is a car crash, again one needs to identify the fault; sometimes it might be the brakes, and sometimes it might be the driver. There was one recently in which a child was killed - the fault was in the driver, but it was not alcohol, but epilepsy. The driver was unaware of their epilepsy because they had not been diagnosed. They were found not guilty of causing death by dangerous driving.

If you take responsibility for that you're making a mistake. You're applying responsibility to yourself and you shouldn't. It's misappled.How exactly will one misapply responsibility? — Nimish
