ORIGINAL: DomKen FR Does no one here know why post hoc ergo propter hoc is a fallacy? "It happened after it. Therefore, it was caused by it". It's almost never true. It relates to the causality of an event and suggests that simply because something happened, it was caused by something, directly. ie; my uncle's house (Mahwah, NJ) didn't get flooded out, last August because of a hurricane. It got flooded out because a dam ruptured during a hurricane. Peace and comfort, Michael
