> however that fact alone doesn’t absolve me of responsibility

Where does this absurd strawman come from? The question is what can happen, not whether people have responsibility.

> You could possibly move the blame higher

We can blame the Big Bang. That doesn't have any bearing on bad things happening.

> it doesn’t exist unless you take intentional actions to make it so

First, so what? It still does exist, and putting someone on trial after the fact doesn't change that. Second, that's not remotely true -- all sorts of bad things happen that no one intended, and the more powerful and difficult to control the tool/mechanism/agent is, the more likely this is to happen.
