“Among the informal logical fallacies, one of the most common is called the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Translated it means ‘after this, therefore because of this.’ B follows A, and it is therefore assumed that A must have been the cause of B. This fallacy is so prevalent that it could easily be assumed that many have done graduate studies in it, and some have even moved on to post hoc post doc work” (Confessions of a Food Catholic, p. 62).
