My use of them was deliberately ironic, implying that were you to act on uncontrollable anger that any resulting incident would not actually be accidental. Thus scare quotes are appropriate (see the Wikipedia citation earlier).

You claimed you actually meant literally "accidents", no irony, which would call for no scare quotes.

And you also said there was no error.

That's contradictory. Which is it?
