"A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else."
-John Burroughs

Many people get some sort of satisfaction from directing the blame for a problem onto someone else. Realize that how a problem emerges is not important - take personal responsibility for the issue and focus on the why. Doing so may help avoid the problem in the future. Pointing fingers will not resolve anything. On the contrary, it will only create more negativity that increases the difficulty in solving the issue. Do not waste time directing blame; instead, use that time to address the problem itself. Succeeding in this will result in quicker, more positive resolutions and better quality lessons learned.
