Attribution
In which Rat expects knowledge to be power
Good time of day, humans!
«Weather attribution» is a real thing. The problem with it is it never asks «what?» or «if?» but jumps straight to «how?».
CWCID: el gato malo covers this in detail:
The only positive aspect I can see with «attribution» is that it prevents «rattribution», a.k.a. blaming rats.



As has been noted, "Wet streets cause rain", so using that logic, the hole caused Rats. We must fix the Ratzone Hole! Clearly these rats have bird-flu-monkey-pox and must be... uh oh, run for your lives little ones!
Very interesting attribution article. As usual, rat responses to environmental change is far faster than their cognizant human overlords are capable of. Less butwhataboutdogmatism and more itiswhatitisreactivism thinking. The commonly used sinking ship analogy comes to mind when the rats react instantly to a catastrophic environmental and humans are still in “huh” mode.
