That's the reason for the advice, but I still roll my eyes at that trend. 5 why's isn't about finding a single root cause, it's about finding the many systemic issues that can contribute to operational risks and fixing them!
More eye-rolling. The notion that the specific words "why"/"how" relates to "who"/"what" is sophomoric garbage. Tending to pin blame on people, rather than environments and systems, or being satisfied with shallow proximate explanations, are independent cultural phenomena.

“Sophomoric garbage” and eye-rolling. Amazing.

I’ll lay out my experience and thoughts on this topic with more detail and respect, so apologies for the short dismissiveness for now. I don’t think why/how matters, it’s what goes with it. I also think events and causes can be reconstructed to an underestimated degree.

These takedowns are "I saw these bad post-event practices, and they were using something they called 5-whys, therefore 5-whys is bad".

I guess we can agree to disagree about the term "5Whys", since I think we may be reduced to debating its definition (vs what's actually done post-event).
