Why not blame the thing that caused me to read that sentence? Why not blame the thing that caused that? Or the one before that? I'm sure you see where this is going.

When you start down the path of causal reductionism you don't get to draw a circle around any particular event arbitrarily.

Really, the best you can do is concede some amount of absoluteness and settle for whatever the most reliable explanation is given a practical set of heuristics. Which leads us to a place where we can see that some events have larger immediate effects than others.

A car crash or obesity will have much more of an effect on your reproductive success than reading a sentence. So it would be a bit silly to blame your failure on the text in the op.
