That’s better.Now, Meigs, your argument is based on a fallacy— the false cause fallacy.Correlation does not imply causation:When two phenomena regularly occur together,one does not necessarily cause the other.So you say women who have inflammation also come down with childbed fever,therefore the inflammation caused the fever.But that’s not necessarily true.
