Mr Bob Ross would like a word…
I agree with you on inadvertently, but accident, if I’m not mistaken would generally considered something where you do not inherently attribute blame. At least thats what I recall being justification for making the change in UK in calling traffic ‘incidents’ incidents instead of accidents several years back. Dunno if it stuck though.
