I would argue that “Why did you do that?” between humans is usually a social thing not a literal request for information.

What the asker wants is evidence that you share their model of what matters, they are looking for reassurance.

I find myself tempted to do the same thing with LLMs in situations like this even though I know logically that it’s pointless, I still feel an urge to try and rebuild trust with a machine.

Aren’t we odd little creatures.
