Repeat after me: correlation is not causation...

Repeat after me: correlation is not causation...  Just the other day, researchers from Princeton announced the imminent demise of Facebook, based on metadata gleaned from Google.  Today, Mike Develin (a data scientist from Facebook) used the same technique to “prove” that Princeton University is about to run out of students, and we're all about to run out of air.  Well played, Mike :)
