Correlations don't have arrows. They never said there was causation.

- icelancer 9y agoSure they did. >>which stands in opposition to the association you attempt to draw above
- throwaway76543 9y agoNo, I did not. As the quote you've excerpted clearly illustrates I noted a correlation only. You've made a mistake.
- icelancer 9y agoYou are backpedaling. It is very clear from the context of your post what you mean, as the upvotes on my comment illustrate.
- throwaway76543 9y agoSorry bud, the guy you're arguing with is correct about what I said. I stand by my original statement regarding correlation. Your assumption that there's a causal claim is your own mistake. This has been made clear; there's nothing further for us to discuss. Especially given your uh, personality. Goodbye.
- saint_fiasco 9y agoAssociations don't have arrows either. What is under discussion is whether rich people are more likely to do illegal things (maybe because they felt they can get away with it) or they are less likely to do illegal things (maybe because they are risk averse and have more to lose).
