This is true, but you have options in terms of what feeling you're aiming for.
There is a world of difference in the response you're likely to get from "When Z you should do X because Y" vs. "We had a Z problem, it turns out that Y was the issue, so we did X."
The former will probably get you an "uh-oh" and the latter an "a-ha" or "hmm". Big difference.
