I enjoy your posts Lebell.
Maybe I dont mean 'why' is of no relevance. Maybe I should say that discussion of 'why' is pointless . . . on the basis that it varies wildly from person to person. It is so subjective and hence meaningless to discuss 'why' . . because it wont sit still and be pinned down. I overheard two guys in the pub having a drunken debate as to who was the better actor . . Pinnochio or Mickey Mouse! Discussing 'why' is a bit like that.
'How' behaves itself, and we can make good progress discussing 'how'. 'Why' is a retrospective word in some ways. You ask me why the childs parents didnt care, why the child was in the road etc etc. almost like you are reviewing the events and then asking questions. No use crying over spilt milk . . its always too late to ask why . . it doesnt matter why . . the child is dead . . and no amount of asking why will change that. Forget the why and ask 'how' it can be prevented again.
Shirking implies laziness . . I apologise. I am trying to suggest
