Incorrect. Regardless of your bloodlust, the primary aim for any investigation is to learn from mistakes and prevent reoccurrence. The main factor is often the easy bit and it's the contributory factors where the real learning takes place.
Where negligence has taken place, someone will need to be held accountable, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the other contributing factors
