You know what, you're right. Looks like I've gone too long assuming they were interchangeably usable by changing the surrounding words.

I'll redact my previous statement, though to be clear, I still strongly disagree that one could say that the attackers schizophrenia was definitely a factor in this without having a previously existing mental evaluation and the expertise to understand it. You could say that it's more likely to have been influenced by his schizophrenia, but as I previously noted, a relatively small minority of schizophrenic people are violent (10-15%).

Fair enough! 🙂
