Recent Examples on the Web The race for Bexar County district attorney between Joe Gonzales and Marc LaHood hinges on the question of correlation vs. causation. 
Gilbert Garcia, San Antonio Express-News, 3 Sep. 2022 Second, the study showed correlation, not necessarily causation. David Meyer, Fortune, 10 Aug. 2022 The study could only establish an association, not causation, and additional studies are needed. Sandee Lamotte, CNN, 27 July 2022 Correlation does not equal causation, and illnesses and diseases—yes, even those typically associated with weight, like sleep apnea, diabetes, and heart disease —occur in people of all sizes. SELF, 29 Aug. 2022 That estimate, though, was based on just three studies, and still doesn’t sort out the difference between correlation and causation. Alex Hutchinson, Outside Online, 16 Apr. 2021 But note his logic of massacre causation: Political opposition to unchecked immigration, or support for ballot integrity and American values, drove Payton Gendron to kill 10 African-Americans at a Buffalo supermarket. The Editorial Board, WSJ, 17 May 2022 Nonetheless, a functional and scientific conception of environment can counteract to a large degree any biological or genetic claims of behavioral causation. Jessica Riskin, The New York Review of Books, 21 Apr. 2022 In the case of Abbott, too, no conclusive causation has been proven between the Cronobacter found at the Sturgis plant and infants' illness or death.
