Statistical special pleading
As per my entry on the article's talk page: "[none of the] examples given illustrate any distinct logical fallacy, and are instead just examples of correlation implies causation." Also, as another editor notes, the title phrase fails the Google test. S0uj1r0 23:10, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism (although "special pleading" may have become accepted in general).  &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 21:04, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
