What Is the Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc Fallacy?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc (after this, therefore because of this) assumes that because event B followed event A, A must have caused B. Temporal sequence alone doesn't establish causation — the events may be coincidental or both caused by something else.
Also known as False Cause, this is a informal fallacy — the error lies in the content or context of the argument rather than its formal structure.
How to Spot It
Example
"I started a new diet and my headaches went away. The diet cured my headaches." The headaches may have resolved on their own, or the timing could be coincidental.
A Stronger Version
"My headaches stopped after I changed my diet. This could be the diet, stress reduction from feeling proactive, natural resolution, or coincidence. A controlled test would help isolate the cause."
Warning Signs
- Assuming sequence proves causation
- Attributing changes to the most recent new variable
- Ignoring other possible explanations
- Treating correlation as causation based on timing
How to Fix It
Sequence is necessary but not sufficient for causation. When B follows A, ask: could anything else explain B? Would B have happened without A? Does A consistently produce B in multiple cases?
