well one CAN think that, that's what Compatibilists are
essentially some believe that even if you don't have true free will and Determinism (in some form) applies, there's still responsibility beared by the Actor due to previous actions and 'decisions' made. Even if you responded to some external force, perhaps you placed yourself in the place of that force so to speak IOW
I don't agree with it, but there are a lot of people that do
It isnt that one cannot think it, you can think it and still be wrong.
Like if there is no free will, the actor was also not responsible for the previous actions leading up to the wrong since you cannot make a decision if there is no free will.
Determinism means the outcome is already determined...those all actions leading up to it MUST occur. Hard Determinism is even harsher.
