While true, the people who didn’t confuse them also ended up dying.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the joke, man :)
A weird thing I’ve noticed about “correlation does not equal causation” is that some people actually end up thinking it means “correlation does equal not causation” - i.e. if A and B are correlated then A does not cause B (and B does not cause A). A more accurate expression would be “correlation does not necessarily equal causation”.
So if I never get them mixed up, I’ll live forever?!
All of the people that will live forever affirm the consequent.
Everyone who injests dihydrogen monoxide ends up dying as well. Be careful out there, the more you know…
I’m confused. Is this correlation or causation?
It’s clearly confounding variables
Correlation. Causation would be if confusing the two were literally killing them.
We’re all going to die!
I thought this was a threat or policy proposition at first
only as far as we know
Woooooosh
