Transitive reasoning distorts induction in causal chains.
A probabilistic causal chain A→ B→ C may intuitively appear to be transitive: If A probabilistically causes B, and B probabilistically causes C, A probabilistically causes C. However, probabilistic causal relations can only guaranteed to be transitive if the so-called Markov condition holds. In two...
