  • Very true. What's your favorite color? Green. Why? Uhh... because it's a springtime color? Finding causation is hard and often pointless. Trying to find it through correlation is like assuming a street is one way because you happen to be driving on it one way. Trying to find causation by interrogation is like hosting a creative writing seminar. You get a lot of stories but very little truth. If somehow you manage to ask someone who's self aware enough to tell you the truth you're probably talking to a non-representative outlier. :) Commented Jan 31, 2015 at 14:14
