CRITICAL THINKING Foregone Conclusion:


A. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer
heart attacks than the British or Americans.

B. On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and
also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or
Americans.

C. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer
fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

D. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine
and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British
or Americans.

E. Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. It's
speaking English that kills you.!!!

The trouble with correlations is they can't be used to establish causation, they only indicate that two variables change together. There may always be another, undetected variable that may be causing the changes.

My bet is lack of prudish attitudes about sex.
