It means nothing, since there is zero statistical anaylsis given on forming a link between the two. In the nineties, I did shave off my beared. Maybe this made crime rates going so and so, up or down, and it contributed to the video games scene to make suczh and such kind of games?

All,

stop abusing statistics here if you do not know methodology. Leave abusing statistics to those who are experts in abusing them - leave it to politicians. A simultaneity of two events does not make a correlation, a correlation is no causal link.
