Not an accidental giving, a negligent giving.

When your kid/nephew/grandson spills a glass of milk, do you introduce him to the backside of your hand while yelling "CRY OVER THE NEGLIGENTLY SPILLED MILK! THE FIRST RULE OF DRINKING MILK IS TO NOT EVER SPILL IT! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ACCIDENT!"?
You can say that there are rules governing every aspect of human existence, such that no mishap however small can ever be called anything but negligence (or even recklessness). But that would be breaking one of the real rules of human existence, that being "don't be an idiot."
