Forgive me, that wasn't the complete thought I assumed it was.

What I mean is that Liability in business is often spread across the company as an entity because there are usually a lot of people involved in the decision tree that leads to things like this.

You'd be holding more than one person liable if you were holding people liable at all. And generally if one person can be pointed to as at fault they are "the fall guy", taking the brunt of whatever consequences so that the company doesn't have to. Rarely do you get both options.

I didn't mean to imply that the people who are involved couldn't be held accountable.
