You are both exactly right on this point; to me it's part-and-parcel of the "passive voice" approach... By saying things just happened or that they were "mistakes", the WAS can absolve themselves of any wrongdoing and don't need to look to others to validate as such a search would lead them to places they might not really want to go...
