I think we're talking about subtly different things here. You're talking about explanations of external events, I'm talking about explanations for your own mind states, ie why am I sad right now.
I don't like blaming the "unconscious" or even using the word - it sounds too Freudian - but there aren't any other good terms that mean the same thing.
What makes you think the mental systems to construct either explanation would be different? Especially given the research showing that we have dedicated mental systems devoted to rationalizing observed events.
