yes.

no. root causes are irreducible, hence the word "root".
if someone is endlessly trained for an event and then fails at game time, its probably a root cause. people make mistakes that cannot be avoided (this is why defense in depth is a thing)
if the training program is a 5 second sentence before the event, the persons mistake is not the root cause, its the training program.
yes.
