Almost every one of his major points is an example of correlation being confused with causation. That's the major error made with statistics from middle-school on out: and it only takes a middle-schooler to detect it.
Example: porn and rape. Porn went up, rape went down. Fine. But during the same time span:
- Consumption of beef went down... and rape went down.
- Marriage went down.... and rape went down.
- Use of typewriters went down... and rape went down.
- Presence of fathers in the home went down ... and rape went down.
- Bowling leagues went down... and rape went down.
Conversely...
- female gun ownership went up... and rape went down.
- Women enrolled in colleges//universities went up... and rape went down.
- Average amt. of money spent by adults for Halloween went up... and rape went down.
- 45 states made it it easier to transfer cases from juvenile justice system to the criminal justice system... and rapes went down.
- Dental cavities are declining ... and rapes went down.
SO???
