correlation != causation

• JamisonM 16y ago
  Yes, it is true that correlation is not causation but the article is not claiming causation. It is observing that the correlation between the unemployment rate and the education level of those in power means that they are out of touch with the problems of those suffering. It is the correlation that is the basis for the argument, the fact that lower education levels might be causing the higher unemployment for the specific populations is not relevant and is never claimed by the article.
