Why would pulling the lever make you more responsible of the outcome than not pulling the lever? Both are options you decide to take once you have observed the situation.
Logically, maybe not that much.
Socially, this is a believe people hold.
I think it’s the main argument for people choosing not to pull the lever (almost 20% by a survey I found).
