Despite wishful thinking and until actual proof otherwise, which is impossible if you're not making much of an effort to do 'contact tracing' I'm going with this...instead of just an opinion.


Correlation Does Not Imply Causation.

Quote:
In statistics, the phrase "correlation does not imply causation" refers to the inability to legitimately deduce a cause-and-effect relationship between two variables solely on the basis of an observed association or correlation between them.[1][2]

The idea that "correlation implies causation" is an example of a questionable-cause logical fallacy, in which two events occurring together are taken to have established a cause-and-effect relationship.

This fallacy is also known by the Latin phrase cum hoc ergo propter hoc ("with this, therefore because of this").
