I don't see why, if causality is problematic, there need be any confusion between begetting (cause) and justification.

But in any case, a cause is not a justification. If I am abused as a child and this has something to do with my abuse of others, there is cause but not justification.

=========== What is the difference between begetting and justification if you're posting causality as problematic? Ian
