If you're braking your car and slam into a wall, the fact that you were decelerating before you hit the wall doesn't mean that the wall didn't play a role in you stopping.

There's a notable increase in the rate of decline of suicides after the introduction of the gun ban, which you would acknowledge if you put aside your preconceived notions and looked at the actual data.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
