An Impossible Distinction

Can we distinguish between direct action by the ultimate manager and indirect action of the ultimate manager mediated by multiple actions of humans who believe in the U.M.?

How can this obvious distinction be maintained when the multiple actions of humans are the result of earlier "natural" processes? Even more tricky would be something like global warming that results naturally from certain events caused by humans.

So, natural events versus intervened events are hard to tell apart.
