What the Fallacy?!
False Cause
The Fallacy
Presuming that a real or perceived relationship between things means that one is the cause of the other.
Why it's wrong
Many people confuse correlation (things happening together or in sequence) for causation (that one thing actually causes the other to happen). Sometimes correlation is coincidental, or it may be attributable to a common cause.
Example
Every time I wear my lucky neon socks, the local football team wins. Clearly, the cosmic power of my socks is the only thing keeping their winning streak alive.
