“Official vocab guidelines state we no longer refer to these incidents as ‘accidents’, they’re now ‘collisions’ … ‘accident’ implies there’s nobody to blame.” - Nicholas Angel

The context suggests that the person writing was an insurance agent, or at least in the insurance industry, or in a branch of government concerned with auto accidents. I was too precise in specifying “insurance agent,” but whoever “Nicholas Angel” is, he sure isn’t a philosopher of science, and from my point of view, he can take his “official vocab guidelines” and, well, I’d better not complete the thought, but will settle for saying that I choose to ignore the opinions of the non-entity Nicholas Angel and whatever “official guidelines” he’s talking about.
