Please tell me what is Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc?

Sagot :

It means "After that, therefore on account of that". It's a label given to the particular error in logic where we decide that something happened after a certain even, so the event must have caused it. Examples: -- I have this gold ring that I keep in my pocket. I get up early every morning and I rub the ring three times, and within a few minutes, the sun rises. I feel good that I'm able to do so much for the world, especially for roosters, surfers, and farmers. -- My cousin's pediatrician's mailman's barber used to get a lot of kidney stones. Four years ago, he started drinking a cup of lemon juice every day, and he hasn't had any more since then. I'm going to write and tell Dr. Oz about this new miracle cure.
