If you was told not to do something with out fully understanding why or the consequence behind it . Can you really blame them from making the wrong choice ?
We are responsible for our own behavior and actions.
Not interested in excuses: "I didn't know it was wrong." "He told me to do it."
Did the person understand that they did not understand, and seek further understanding? If so to the first part of the question, and if not to the second part of the question, then yes, that person bears partial blame for proceeding while knowingly lacking full understanding.
Welcome to AgDotCom. No, I can’t blame someone much for not blindly following a rule they don’t understand. At least, I know I have a hard time following rules until I really understand the wisdom in them. And sometimes learning that wisdom (if indeed any is in it) has been costly. But then I’m not fighting myself anymore. I know then why I want to follow the rule.
. . . insufficient info to answer that (hypothetical?) question.
