My professional experience tells me that the next question will be who decided for B given Y, then you answer it and then you have a target on your SRE back, I'm afraid. Remember that the trickle-down economics works only when the shit hits the fans and what trickles down is not money.

If your company uses post mortems to blame individuals rather than fix processes and tools, you haven't worked in a professional environment.
I've worked in these types of organizations before, and it's always counter-productive to making positive changes in the environment. You as an SRE can either make it better, or find an environment that's conducive to positive changes.

If you'd like an outside resource to suggest or read up on better postmortem practices, the Google SRE Book has a chapter [0] on postmortem culture. It's an amazing change of pace and a huge stress level improvement for us SREs.
