That being said, disciples of [[David Hume]] will appreciate that causal relations are not always perfectly clear, a spurious [[correlation]] can resemble [[causation]], so there is inevitably scope for a mischievous defaulter to create confusion and angst here. Recognising this, {{icds}} inserted some language which, in a world governed unstintingly by cold economic logic, would be redundant, but may help to put [[Credit department|easily riled minds]] at rest here.
