yeah, depends on the audience. I find a lot of people who ask about root cause really want inciting incident ("we shipped a query change that kicked the planner over into sequential scans"), and "proximate cause" encourages exploration of systemic risks and controls vs "we fixed the query, all done"

perhaps related: I'm pleased by how much woke slipped into the second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications

We’re gonna have to have the talk again about how there’s never a singular root cause to an incident but just many contributing factors aren’t we
