Could it be that the whole business about causal factors is just a pretense to tell everyone about how virtuous you are in being ready to admit you're wrong and to commiserate about how most people aren't as virtous?

Is the "you" in your comment singular? I can't tell. If so, I don't see how an answer to that question would be pragmatically discovered or particularly informative.

Um, I guess it's the "you" and you use as an informal "one".
