I think we’re talking about subtly different things here. You’re talking about explanations of external events, I’m talking about explanations for your own mind states, ie why am I sad right now.
What makes you think the mental systems to construct either explanation would be different? Especially given the research showing that we have dedicated mental systems devoted to rationalizing observed events.
