Maybe this is part of our gradual movement towards “collective justice”, where everyone who could conceivably be connected to an event is held responsible for the outcome, and any effort to apportion responsibility is deemed to be “unfair”. Sort of like joint and severable (sp?) liability on steroids. After all, we try to induce collective guilt in the populace for racial and environmental crimes, and diffuse guilt when leaders are clearly responsible, so why not extend it everywhere?
