We don't necessarily care whether a person "cares" whether they're responsible for some damage they caused. Society has developed ways to hold them responsible anyway, including but not limited to laws.

Laws don't really have any bearing on situations like rude discussions on PR threads.
Sure, laws are only one of the tools. I thought that was obvious, but I've edited to clarify.
The point being made is that this argument is quite quickly going to become about as practicable as blaming Eve for all human sin.
If that's the point being made in:

> If you complain to the human, they are not going to care.

then it's not at all clear, and is a gross exaggeration of the problem regardless.
