Comment on Correlation equals causation

Not directly relevant, but I’m surprised at how many people I’ve known over the years who think “correlation does not equal causation” means “correlation equals not causation”. In other words, they think correlation is somehow proof of a lack of causation. “Correlation does not necessarily mean causation” would be a better formulation of the original expression.

Logic classes should be one of the mandatory ones.

The correct sentence is “correlation does not imply causation”
