I did not follow the World Series.
I wore my Hebrew Red Sox cap during the Series.
Ergo:
The Red Sox won the World Series.
You can talk all you want about there being a big difference between correlation and causality. I know better.
The Red Sox won because I did not follow the Series, and because I wore my Hebrew Red Sox cap during the Series. I know that there is a direct causal link, because the world revolves around me.
