I don’t see a material difference between claiming “not the primary cause” and “not caused by” when in a short summary

- cwkoss 5y agoI don't think Facebook would have been credibly able to rate “not the primary cause” as false - that requires being able to quantify the individual contributions of each factor. To rate “not caused by” is false, they just need to argue it contributed to the slightest extent: it's a much lower bar.
- christophilus 5y agoOne is possibly true and one is probably false. They're very different statements, and they are about the same length, so there's no excuse to use a misleading phrase simply for the sake of brevity.
