Worse, we need to keep in mind that stereotypes can be totally wrong if they aren't inferring the correct causality. If we have three observables P, Q, R, and physical causations P -> Q and P -> R, then stereotype-style pattern inference will incorrectly conclude either Q -> R or R -> Q. More generally, stereotype-oriented reasoning has no place for the argument from the outside that, when we mechanically disprove a stereotype's existence, we must refute the entire chain of correlations which led to the stereotype's establishment.
