This is somewhat true but it may not be the full story.

We don’t know if 2 causal events will stack. It may be that one causal event does so much damage that the second causal event can’t do much.

It’s like firing a bullet and throwing a stone at a window. Whichever came first will mask the causative nature of the second. The window can't break twice.
