“correlation is not causation”

Yet what is correlated may still be the causation, quite often is, and saying “correlation is not causation” doesn’t change that.

“correlation is not causation”

/\

I’m so sick of this weasel phrase.

“correlation does not necessarily mean causation”

is the correct version.

Doesn’t mean it can’t.

To say a bullet fired by a moron named Baldwin ,

correlated to that women

(who was struck by said bullet)

dying ,

means that Baldwin didn’t kill that woman

cuz
“correlation is not causation”

is prima facie ABSURD.

.spit.

Don’t ever let ilk slide using this dodge and con.

Call them on it

EVERY time.
