#LotOfThought: You are correct, sorry (I modified the toot to reflect that).

#Causation: Just one or the other? To me the world appears more complex. Besides, your view is perfect for dissolving responsibility.

#BestCase: Yes, this is precisely what you are saying: If everything else would have been worse, then the actual line of events was the best possible outcome.

Anyhow, for me it's okay to disagree on such big and complex question. :)
