I am sympathetic to this, but would at least want to modify it to responsibility for reasonably foreseeable consequences. What is foreseeable is endogenous—it is a function of our actions and our choices to seek information. We generally don’t want to absolve people of responsibility for actions which were not foreseeable only because they were reckless as to the consequences of their actions, and didn’t bother to gather sufficient information to make a proper decision.
