It is worth remember- ing that aiti

It is worth remember- ing that aitia, in the sense of complaint, can be practically identical in meaning with prophasis. Hence the impossibility of establishing any constant relationship between the two words; they are often contrasted, but sometimes almost synonymous. An explanation is not necessarily false, just as an accusation is not necessarily true; but when explanation is contrasted with reason, the explanation is at least partly misleading and certainly inadequate.
