You can predict causality with math. Not with absolute certainty, but with far greater accuracy than you can predict causality with feelings. That is why we don't announce "I feel like there will be a thunderstorm next week"... we use mathematical models to predict storms.
If you can not see the difference between a leaky faucet and a firing squad you likely never will. However, for the many reading the thread, consider this as a useful analogy. You own a house and it has a leaky faucet in the kitchen. A new faucet and a plumber and all the work needed to replace it will cost you $400.00. Do you get the faucet fixed or do you allow it to keep leaking? That comes down to what the leak costs you.
If the leak is so small that it does not raise your water bill a penny... paying someone to fix it would be foolish. If the leak is loud or doing damage to your sink or costs you money on your water bill each month (which you can easily check by looking at your water bill) you may want to replace the faucet.
In no case is that leaky faucet the same in any way as someone breaking into your house and stealing everything you own or someone putting poison in your water and killing all of your guests. Treating that leaky faucet like it was an illegal act or one harmful to your guests is absurd.
