It does seem like Kevin could have done better there. However, I think
that Kevin was taking responsibility for the situation, and that it
wasn't accurate to suggest he blamed others. I thought his account of
the constraints that he operated under was a simple factual account.

I also don't think it's useful for you to discourage revert on the
grounds that it's a slippery slope. Admitting fault doesn't need to be
made any harder.
