I'm saying that the typical attitude I described is a way some people think to deflect "blame" from a person onto a thing, an idea. I am pointing out that that method still places blame on the person and, as such, is an inappropriate metaphor to be using.
You deserve better than that, Lou. Please reread my original post and I hope you will see what I mean.
Great wits are sure to madness near allied,
And thin partitions do their bounds divide.
