    No, you’re reasoning by association rather than by evidence. This is how we ended up with the four elements of air, fire, water, and stone, and why people used to believe that something contained would just because it could burn or contained stone because it was hard.

    Reasoning by association often leads to spurious and fallacious conclusions. This is why, today, we with evidence instead.
