Causation isn't the same thing as correlation don't forget.
Are there any confounding factors to consider?
It's the slowest service of any coffee shop I have ever been in. It confounds my imagination as to how such a simple task can be doen so slowly and so disorganisedly by so many people.The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head. Terry Pratchett

Because I don't tend to take my kitchen with me when I go out to the city centre or a retail park for shopping or nip in for a coffee after the gym, and it's an oportunity to sit down and chill out for a while.The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head. Terry Pratchett
