so how many screw ups can actually be traced back to Dirk exactly? stuff like literally creating lord English I mean

Well he also helped Caliborn make that robot leg.

He made Lil Seb who ended up helping Caliborn

He dropped Lil Cal in the ocean which Caliborn ended up finding and becoming enamored with.

And he made Lil Hal and let him be prototyped forming Arquius who also ended up becoming apart of LE so dirk actually fucked up a lot
