Why does "causes to be" necessarily imply intention? I don't think that's nearly as definitive as you're claiming. > It’s not as general a term as you are implying My point is that even if the term isn't "supposed" to be general it definitely sounds like that to a non-trivial number of people, which is why these sort of discussions crop up almost every time the term gets mentioned in comment threads on this site.
