Yes, because there’s insufficient room for reality. Causality is this big DAG with tons of incoming edges, going back to the beginning of time. 5 Whys is creating a path 5 edges long. This is often useful, but it’s not “the truth”. If each node has 10 incoming edges, there are 100,000 paths you could take.
At least it’s better than root cause analysis, which is walking back until you want to stop and declaring that the root.
The real root is the creation of the universe. I mean that sincerely. When you follow definitions of causality, time and the universe, you end up with the Big Bang as the root of your graph. Everything is else is editorializing.
