Have you ever heard someone use the phrase, “Correlation does not imply Causation”? More importantly, have you ever taken the time to think about what that means?

One can find countless examples of this each and every day in their news feed on most social media platforms, most mainstream news channels, or by checking out the YouTube channel of most of your widely publicized politicians.
