Searching for "the" root cause (as opposed to more than one) is its own fallacy though.
The Ishikawa diagram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishikawa_diagram) is a way of assuming and charting out multiple causes.
So the root cause of the problem "why can't we play outside?" is because "god is dead and we're alone".
