Outstanding, Kirsh! "Correlation isn't causation." Aristotles, in Organon (something like "Tool"), remarks in his "Simultaneous" Category that expression, to the letter (or "ipsis literis"). Futhermore, he brings to light the "Definitions" (it is about the ESSENCE of something) of the "Universal X Particular" that sophists ARE USED TO wilfuly rigging: they often use the "Petitio Principii", a stratagem that switches THE IDEA of those two concepts in order to confound the audience, so to speak. Besides, the sage elicits (throughout "Sophistic Rebuttal) roughly twelve mistakes those paid crooks surreptitiously commit. Wraping up, the (so debated use of) p-value has its provenance on that former expression, that only, only SOMETIMES is viable.
