RE: Illusion of Control - The Positives of Self-Deception
This concept can also be negative when it comes to ascertaining blame to others and the amount of control that they have over a situation.

are you talking about real control? hopefully you dont digress into conspiracy theories..
Where did you get conspiracy theories from? I'm talking about blaming others for actions that they had less control of than our perception.
alright. can you give me an example of such situation please? :)
You run over someone with a car, people say it was 100% in your control. Reality was, the person jumped out of nowhere, and your break line was not working, the car could not be stopped.
should we agree that in such situations we have to resort to as much objective evidence as possible to really understand what happened? :)
Exactly @krnel gave an excellent example. Since it is another person we may assign them more "control" of the situation than they had. This can ultimately lead to miscarriages of justice.
