I made no case for absolving people of all their responsibility, just for accepting that conditions differ for different people, and the responsibility may not
entirely lay with them. By refuting the absolute put forth, I'm not proposing the opposite absolute.
It's trivially provable that some vanishingly small percentage of people have no choice in life (e.g. die/incarcerated until death while young through no fault of their own). Accepting that, I think it's logical to conclude that some circumstances will negatively impact you more than others, and affect your chances at success. That does not resolve people of responsibility, but in my mind it does make a case for compassionate handling of poor circumstances.
