If you or I were this little girl's father, I daresay she would still be alive.

I guess you are not in the "greater unified community" then, and may "be trying to focus attention elsewhere" -- to borrow the Van Dam's words, and (possibly) place them in the mental context from which they came out of the Van Dams's.

"If you or I were this little girl's father, I daresay she would still be alive."

I translate your statement to mean: If you or I were this little girl's father we would have stayed home with the kids rather than leave the kids home alone. If you or I were this little girl's father we wouldn't have partied in the garage until 3 a.m.. If you or I were this little girl's father we would have investigated the open doors and alarm signal. If you or I were this little girl's father we would have checked on her before going to bed. If you or I were this little girl's father, we surely wouldn't have been so NEGLIGENT as Danielle's father was that night.
