> people can't even use language to describe what actually happened

This is a good point, although I'm not sure sure I agree with the cause or motive. But if one starts paying very close attention to the general nature and specific wording used in forum conversations, I think it starts to become clear that very often participants believe they are discussing "just the facts", when in reality they are often discussing things in the form of a story, or a particular perspective which usually only takes into consideration a subset of all the relevant facts.

In this case, new technology has been broadly deployed into society without corresponding training, and a young man has ended up dead. It seems unlikely the entirety of the fault rests in one place, but rather could plausibly be attributed to any number of things that had they been done differently, the gut-wrenching emotional pain this family has to live with for the rest of their life could have been avoided.

I believe if each of us made a serious effort to be more mindful of our thoughts and words, we could perhaps move closer to a society where these realities can be discussed in a more objective manner, and we could enjoy both the advancements of technology, while increasing the likelihood that everyone gets home to their loved ones at the end of the day.
