La culpa es de la vaca" ilustra la externalización de la culpa. Un investigador encuestó almacenes en Colombia sobre productos de cuero: precios altos y baja calidad. Los fabricantes culparon a las curtiembres por aranceles. Las curtiembres a los mataderos por mala calidad de cueros. Los mataderos a los ganaderos por poco uso de venenos y marcas en las reses. Los ganaderos a las vacas por restregarse en alambres. Conclusión: ¡las vacas son estúpidas! Esta historia, resumida por Fernando Cepeda en El Tiempo, se basa en investigación del libro "Changing the Mind of a Nation" (Harrison & Huntington), cap. de Michael Fairbanks. © 2002 Jaime Lopera G. y Martha Inés Bernal T.
