Remember the magical formula:
Correlation != Causation
- bcit-cst 8y agoGood point. But you know what proves causation ? Nothing. https://www.iep.utm.edu/hume-cau/#H6 https://www.iep.utm.edu/hume-cau/#H6
- dana321 8y agoCause and effect are simple to discern with one variable (like pushing a ball), with multiple variables everything becomes increasingly complicated. Kind of why drugs don't work in the same way with everyone. Too many subtle differences (blood type, chromosomes, dna, age, hormone levels, deficiencies etc.)
