But it's possible (and perfectly logical) to prioritise them, barit1.
You have a glass coffee-table in your dimly-lit living-room. Hurrying to answer the phone, you forget that the table is there, trip over it, and fall. Because it's made of glass, it breaks, and you end up with severe cuts.
What would be the basic cause of the accident in that case? Would the phone call, the poor lighting, the fact that the coffee-table was made of glass, or even the fact that the coffee-table was there at all, be 'equal,' in terms of causality, with your own carelessness?
