This reads like the author has such a strong external locus of control that he can’t even imagine how an actual internal locus works. The whole point of an internal locus of control for things you can actually control is to control them. For example, rather than the rationalization for inaction:
My house is a mess, it’s my fault but I don’t care.
the actual internal locus of control behavior is:
My house is a mess and I’m going to clean it up right now, that mean before replying to this comment.

Agree, this was my thought as well.
