Taking such arguments all the way to the end, crime becomes only a theoretical construct that can never be practiced, i.g., the safe wasn't strong enough to withstand the explosion: the owner must not have wanted to protect the valuables within enough; someone gets killed: that individual didn't expend enough time and effort to hire sufficient body guards or invest in sufficient bullet-proof attire; a woman is raped: if she had fought back more, had known judo, had been carrying a 12-gauge pump shotgun, it would not have happened.
And this completely ignores the difference in scale between a single person looking through a single window and the aggregate data of millions upon millions of human beings.
