Root cause analysis in software postmortems and in business is important, but knowing the root cause that initiated WWIII is only really useful to understand in hopes of preventing WWIV.

It's irrelevant whether a private corporation software update or the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand causes a world war to break out, it must be avoided.

with that reasoning, everything can cause ww3.
