Thom A's Comments

Fantastic. I've studied Research Methodology, and I hated how some academics jumped to conclusions just because there was correlation; or even worse, ignored or inflated some variables to get the necessary correlation so they can call it causation.

A great deal of bad policy - including economic policy - is created because of a faith in correlation=causation.

We are warned about this, but it's such a common mistake by most.
