When you're coding as part of a team blaming individuals isn't helpful. For starters, any code should have gone through at least one level of code review, so there's been multiple sets of eyes on it before it causes trouble. Better to learn from mistakes as a team so everyone gets the benefit of hindsight.
From this, I feel like "accountability" has started to mean being blamed and berated.
That's not what I consider to be accountability and is something I simply consider a waste of time, no matter whether it is a personal or a team thing.
I do use

though.I keep reading ref-log as re-flog.
Get on with the reflogging.
