If you did something wrong more than once and gave the same apology that statement would make total sense. The first time though is unfair and kind of selfish minded.

I've spilt things on people more than once, AFAIK that's not unusual. Does that make me at fault morally?

I'd say no.

Your thesis needs work IMO.

Make sure you don't fail morally by ever presenting an incomplete/unsound thesis again!

Spilling something is an accident. Other things can be mistakes but not accidents.
Spilling something is usually a mistake, and often can be mitigated; the point is that mere repitition of error is insufficient to prove moral degeneracy.
IDK at some point you should be investing in a sippy-cup
your willful misunderstanding is making this thread unbearable.
If repetition of a trait is not enough to demonstrate it as a core trait, what is?

(Serious question)
