A good reminder from a site at Wikipedia;
Correlation does not imply causation is a phrase used in the sciences and the statistics to emphasize that correlation between two variables does not *automatically* imply that one causes the other, although it is a powerful hint. The phrase's opposite, correlation proves causation, is a logical fallacy by which two events that occur together are claimed to have a cause-and-effect relationship. The fallacy is also known as cum hoc ergo propter hoc (Latin for "with this, therefore because of this") and false cause.
