Oops, only did half a reply last time.
 
(...a house is not built according to it and then falls down, shouldn't the actual cause of the collapse be irrelevant?)
 
Not at all. eg House built not in accordance with NHBC 4.2. A lorry backs into it and whole house collapses. You can argue that the whole house wouldn't have collapsed if it had proper foundations but the cause of it collapsing was still the lorry. And if you change the word lorry, to "tree roots causing desiccation"............
