I would say the conclusion that the parents are to blame is definitely incorrect. Mind you, we don't get a lot of information about the line of thought leading there, but with what little we're given, I don't mind the refutation. In fact, I think it'd be very unhealthy to think like that - "my parents caused my stutter" - and in that sense, it's incorrect. It's a wrong way of looking at the world. Putting blame where none is visible is not right. We can't go invent things that cannot be confirmed. It's not constructive. We need to find other things to hook onto, that are tangible. --- *Moved from below:* --- Think of it in practical terms. It is not my intention to enter into a semantical or terminological setting here. It is not something we would want to be telling ourselves or each other - that our parents caused our stutter - because it's something we have chosen to make up, instead of concretely finding it out somehow, via an appropriate effort. In that sense - in a practical sense, with regards to what our outlook would become - it is _not correct to do_. That's all I intend to get across. You can disagree with my choice of words - and I'm not even native anglophone, so there's that - but my _point_ is what it is. Note also the way I write about it above. I'm trying to speak to this angle. We need to have a healthy approach to these matters, and in this regard, there are things that are _not correct_. They're incorrect.
