I have already punished myself enough and yet surrender my oil changing fate upon the BITOG jury's judgment .
hahah I can' include her in my throwing mercy to the court. she will fight for her innocence, she was not the one preoccupied with rotating the tires after the oil change that led me to forget about securing the oil fill cap. I was seriously sidetracked by that tire rotation. My nwife may have let the dog out during the oil change and then distracted me about traffic and making sure the dog was under control but I cannot hold that against her.

The way you try to rationalize it is scary. Your chemistry with your spouse is par course, you just forgot. Don't sweat it, Jeeps are tough little trucks and are able to take a blow like this. If you are paranoid, you would change your oil but your oil and filter probably picked up a lot of debris like dirt and dust. Oil is tough enough to take a little beating and you are not doing an extremely long OCI for your additive packs to have been exponentially depleted. The oil viscosity is still there. What's to worry. Change you filter and might as well do the oil too at that point and forget about it.

I had the PCV breather hose detached for about 4 months driving daily through a 10-mile long construction zone. When I got the UOA lead was about 466 ppm (UOA and succesive UOAs on this site).
