correlation doesn't = causation //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

It does if you can statistically prove it and systematically rule out other "causes"

And unlike you, I post souces:

"The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime." Quarterly Journal of Economics, 2001, 116(2), pp. 379-420.

correlation and non-spuriousness, even together, are not enough to establish causation.

explain

three critical requirements for a nomothetic explanations are: empirical association, appropriate time order, and non-spuriousness.

Two other criteria greatly strengthen causal explanations, identifying a causal mechanism and specifying the context in which the effect occurs.

I don't doubt that the studies you cited address these issues, although i haven't checked; nonetheless your explanation of causality did not. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Correlation and non-spuriousness are two of the three, but you forgot to add time order.

Since one of the studies does focus on pre vs post- RvW data, would that not be sufficent for the time order?

Unlike most of my comments, I expect a response as I would like to know more about your explanation.

That's only because we can play either side. Did you see me actually somewhat defend minorities and affirmative action. I surprise myself sometimes.

In reference to this post.
