Here is the problem as I see it: equating
responsibility with
blame. Giordano is absolutely in part responsible for injuries sustained by Aho for a check he delivered which was at best borderline within the written letter and spirit of the rules. I don't see anything unreasonable with holding him partway
responsible for the outcome. "Blame" suggests intent or carelessness, and neither clearly applies here.
