One thinks of B. Russell's chickens, who correlate the farmer's appearance with
feeding. Farmer-->feeding, Farmer-->feeding, Farmer-->feeding, and, for what
chickens consider forever, Farmer-->feeding.
Then one day the farmer shows up with an ax and a chopping block.

sir, you keep not answering the question (something Hume was aware of and
tried, at least to answer in ways that are not the usual idiocies of the causal
"skeptics".) to repeat, let us assume for the sake of discussion at any rate,
that correlations are there.
