Quote:
The fallacy of false cause occurs whenever the link between premise and conclusion
depends on some imagined causal connection that probably does not exist.


Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot were all non-figure skaters. Therefore we can conclude that not being a figure skater causes a person to commit atrocities.


None of these three dictators believed in the existence of leprechauns, hence the lack of belief in leprechauns causes people to commit atrocities.

Correlation or synchronicity, and causality, are different things.
