2008-05-09.txt:15:28:15: <ais523> the problem is dealing sensibly with causation loops
2008-10-08.txt:17:39:01: <psygnisfive> or rather, the notion of causation
2009-03-06.txt:11:57:54: <kerlo> If lack of correlation implies lack of causation, then correlation implies causation.
2009-03-07.txt:19:37:56: <kerlo> Let's see. "If lack of correlation implies lack of causation, then correlation implies causation."
2009-03-07.txt:19:39:27: <kerlo> "If lack of correlation is evidence for lack of causation, then correlation is evidence for causation."
2009-07-09.txt:20:18:54: <ehird> "you idiot." directed at you wasn't a joke, I just implied no causation.
2009-10-09.txt:15:56:36: <ehird> Correlation is not causation, you small-minded dimwit! Especially not with such a tiny sample size...
2010-03-27.txt:05:44:21: <dixon> I know correlation doesn't imply causation--except when it does.
2010-07-01.txt:00:53:36: <Ilari> Fun "paradoxes" ("paradox" in food & health really means "we have the wrong model"): Whole milk is less fattening than skim milk. Epidemilogical studies pick association, animal studies pick causation.
2011-01-15.txt:06:07:43: <pikhq> Answer: correlation ≠ causation.

2011-03-11.txt:19:36:14: <oerjan> <elliott> What is it with crazy people and being quotable. <-- now is _that_ correlation or causation?

2011-04-21.txt:11:53:58: <crystal-cola> For Gauss, correlation implies causation.
2011-07-15.txt:20:18:00: <oerjan> no, correlation implies causation, obviously
2011-07-15.txt:20:18:20: <ais523> oerjan: are correlation and causation correlated?
2011-07-15.txt:20:18:26: <ais523> then correlation /causes/ causation!

2011-07-16.txt:13:07:28: <CakeProphet> doesn't causation correlate to correlation?
2011-07-16.txt:13:07:49: <oklopol> yes, but that doesn't mean there's a causation
2011-07-16.txt:13:08:28: <CakeProphet> THEREFORE CAUSATION DOESN'T CAUSE CORRELATION
2011-07-16.txt:14:11:34: <oklofok> correlation correlating with causation is correlated with correlation causes causation, and thus causes correlation to cause causation

2012-01-11.txt:18:29:32: <olsner> hmm, what's that funny quote about causation causing correlation causing the correlation implies causation fallacy?

2012-01-11.txt:18:30:55: <olsner> istr it was more similar to "Causation causes correlation causes correlation causes causation." but that doesn't sound quite right either
