Abstract

The key to understanding the concept is that whenever it applies to me, I can be asked the question, "Why did you do it?" and be obliged to give an answer. This gives a clue as to why certain responses count as excuses: I did not do it; I did not do it; I did not do it. And it brings reason-giving to the fore.
