Questionable causes are fallacies that falsely identify the cause of events.
Fallacies of questionable cause include:
- correlation implies causation
- Texas sharpshooter fallacy - differences in data are ignored, but similarities are overemphasized
- fallacy of the single cause - assume that there is a single cause of an outcome when in reality it may be caused by a number of causes
- slippery slope fallacy - claims one event or action will lead to another, more extreme event or action
