Anyone else read the title as Correlation is not Caucasian?

Is this copy/pasted from somewhere? I couldn't follow it to save my life and the random caps was disconcerting.

I'm not sure what arrogance, an unwillingness to compromise, or a black hole have to do with people getting confused about the difference between correlation and causation...

This may help explain the "Correlation is not Causation" case.

http://xkcd.com/925/

In a nutshell, if A changes, and B changes to a proportional amount. There are multiple possibilities:
- A Causes B.
- B Causes A.
- A and B do not cause each other. They are caused by C.
- Simply a coincidence.

Not every possibility proves causation, which is why correlation does not imply causation.

Was it Yin or Yang who fell into the black hole? I'm not sure.

I have a FB friend who has a posting style very similar to yours. I can't ever figure out what he's trying to say either. Must be a disconnect between my desired way of receiving info and your (and his) desired way to give info.

That cat avatar?

It's actually him.

That might clear it up for you.

That would be hysterical -- but he's not a gamer so I have no idea why he'd be on this website.
