@NathanpmYoung Another way to think about this distinction is linguistic/verbal accountability vs mechanism-driven accountability.
Do you "have to explain yourself" to someone who might then make a decision, or is there an impersonal thing that just imposes the consequence?
@NathanpmYoung思考这一区别的另一种方式是语言/语言责任与机制驱动责任。
你是否必须向可能做出决定的人“解释你自己”，或者是否有一件非个人的事情只是强加了结果？
