That's a fair point. And truthfully, whether broken or not, the general tendency and legal standard thus far has been that usually it's the final, inevitable tipping point cause of death that is what matters the most as far as culpability is concerned.

I do still find it dumb though, due to how often it leads to legal non-solutions to protect companies from potential litigation. I also find the specific angling in this instance, with regards to "climate change", to be dumb from regardless of what political direction it's coming from.
