No what I said, Mr Galaxy Brain. If the pavement is wet and there are clouds, there is correlation but not causation. Might have spilled a beer or something.

No what I said, Mr Galaxy Brain. If the pavement is wet and there are clouds, there is correlation but not causation. Might have spilled a beer or something. However if I can show that the pavement is wet because it rained and if it rains, then the pavement is going to get wet, I have a clearly established causation. (in general ceteris paribus). What kind of Phd do you have again? :o)
