1. In the NFL, teams win more often when they score 13 points than when they score 14. Thus, scoring points is bad.
2. Often when people use regression analysis to estimate the effect of police officers or police spending on crime, they find that cities with larger police
forces/budgets have higher crime rates. Therefore, police cause crime.
3. Studies find that students who drink more tend to have lower grades. Therefore, drinking leads to poor student performance.
