Correlation does not imply causation. Did I really have to tell someone on HN this?

  You asked for reasoning, not evidence, so it might be helpful not to move those goalposts.

    Reasoning can't have or be evidence?
    • QAPereo 9y ago
      They’re two words with different meanings, and I don’t find semantic arguments engaging, sorry.
      • omarchowdhury 9y ago
        Even though your whole contribution to this discussion was semantic. The definition of reasoning is: "the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way." As if evidence could not be a component of reasoning that leads one to logic and sense. The only reason why you don't want to engage this further is because you knew your quip was fruitless from the start.
