While I get your point, I would argue that in this case, excuse and
explanation overlap a bit. Why did he bring unstressing up? Was he
implying that he was unstressing, but still had 100% control of his
actions and takes 100% responsibility for them?
If so, why mention unstressing.Its irrelevant if one is claiming the
above.
The purpose in mentioning unstressing, IMO, is to garner sympathy, and
to implicitly make the case that he did not have 100% control of his
actions and thus cannot take 100% responsibility for them. To me he is
weaving the implicit arguement that,
"I was unstressing. I only had PARTIAL control of my actions and thus
can only takes partial responsibility for them. Unstessing IS a
reality. Have pity on me. I am a VICTIM of unstressing."
But the deeper reason I think its a phony explanation, as stated in an
adjacent post, heavy unstressing is most usually a phenomenon of heavy
rounding. He was not heavily rounding as far as I can see.
