Not Cause For Cause

Non Causa Pro Causa is a group of fallacies that can be incurred when reasoning and drawing conclusions about one thing as the cause of another. -

It should be borne in mind that fallacy is spoken of only when drawing these conclusions clearly fallacious inductive reasoning and not the simple fact that any cause-effect conclusion is reviewable since they all come from hypotheses inferred by induction, and may simply be wrong or restricted to a certain scenario. -

[Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc] (/fallacias/post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc/) (after this, ergo because of this)
