    Well I was hoping that we would jump straight to discussing the idea instead of spending time explaining it.

      If you’d explained things more articulately to begin with it would have saved you a lot of time!

      Ok, you’re not dismissing cause and effect as a whole (i.e. You believe if I pushed a domino over and it fell, I caused it to fall) but don’t believe cause and effect necessarily applies when the effect is the result of a transaction. There are often circumstances where multiple causes result in an effect. e.g. I hadn’t been sleeping well, hadn’t been eating properly and caught a cold, with the effect of failing an exam.
