I just about had a heart attack, Frzbuns, I wanted to quote this but accidently hit the edit button instead of quote and deleted almost your entire post! Thank God for the "cancel" button :-)
This is an excellent point and I'm glad you've made it. I would say that probably 99% of all "accidents" are the owners fault. Either they did not excercise proper training techniques in the beginning or they just didn't take the dog out when he needed to go out.
Some dogs take to the training much easier than others. You made that point with your own dogs. I know Petri was horrible with potty training but in retrospect, I can tell you every mistake that I made with him and why to this day, it is my fault that he isn't 100% potty trained.
