Correlation vs Causal Effect
A funny image implying the difference between correlation vs causal effect. Cats have a tendency to sit at gaps. So whenever we see a gap (such as this broken bench) and a cat, they are likely to be associated together (correlated). But that doesn't mean the cat sat there and broke the bench (casual effect).
