Michigan - Saginaw County | These kinds of articles are classic agitprop (agitation propaganda)  
The authors have an axe to grind  
Correlation is not proof of causation  
Figures can mislead and liars can figure  
  
  
Let me give you an example:  
I'll bet that the kids that lived closer to a farm field also lived further away from the school  
Therefore I can create a graph that correlates increased ASD with increased distance from the school proving that it is the presence of the school reduces the rate of ASD - which means we have to build schools to be within a half mile of every child. |
