When correlation doesn't equal causation, people tend to make the mistake of skipping from factor A to B. That missing third ever-so-absent variable of the logic chain is C.
"A is correlated with B. Therefore A leads to B."
No, both "A" and "B" are related to "C". It's Factor C.
"A is correlated with B. Therefore A leads to B."
No, both "A" and "B" are related to "C". It's Factor C.
Person 1: "People who have lighters in their pockets are far more likely to develop lung cancer. Obviously, lighters lead to lung cancer, it's just simple A-to-B logic."
Person 2: "Factor C: Smoking... Are you actually retarded?"

Get the c-$$mug. Popularized in the 1860s, Generals of the Marine Corps were in distress by a phenomenon they (denoted) kdc.
The distress and pensiveness was caused by Commanders when they PTSD caused them to not care about the world. Simply put, Kommandos (k) just did not (d) care at all (c). Which usually trumped the troops morale greatly.
To this day, distressed members use this word to describe their friend's negligence to a person's return home.
