No, it means that it is not the case that some person is responsible,
i.e. that nobody is responsible. This is because {na} negates the whole
bridi, and has scope over {lo prenu}.
>Does /lo remna cu mabru/ mean
>"Any human is a mammal", or "Some humans are mammals"?
The latter. {ro remna cu mabru} means the former.
All of these mean the same:
lo remna na mabru
naku lo remna cu mabru
no remna cu mabru
ro remna naku mabru
{na} at bridi level is like {naku} at the beginning of the bridi. It has
scope over all that follows. {naku} always has scope over what
follows. When you interchange the places of a sumti and {naku}
you have to change the quantifier from {ro} to {su'o} or from
{su'o} to {ro} in order to keep the same meaning.

I think it refers to the moral/social responsibility, because of the x3.
That's also why ideas cannot possibly be fuzme of anything, they
cannot be held accountable by anyone. A more interesting question
might be whether the originator/propagator of an idea is responsible
for the actions of the followers:
