I think this is more about Human's patience of their actions than nature or physics being involved.
And something tells me, Mister Human would believe more the Raccoon than the Marisa, I wouldn't be surprised if while a yukkuri can't pin the blame on an animal, an animal can pin the blame on a yukkuri.
I was thinking more in the lines of yukkuris earning such infamy that even racoons are placed higher than them in the totem, but yeah, that's also a valid point.
Or lies doesn't matter, considering the original idea of poweryoga was Marisa pinning the blame on a Raccoon when she was the one ripping appart the bags.
