Let's all remember now that causation and correlation have very little to do with each other. For instance, check out Tyler Vigen's Spurious Correlations. In the installment pictured above, the rate of U. S. spending on science, space, and technology between 1999 and 2009 is highly correlated with the number of suicides by hanging, strangulation, and suffocation over the same time period. Makes perfect sense to me.
