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. |
