Ärende: Old McDonald
====================
Hello Everybody,

Old McDonald had a farm, E I E I O ...
And on his farm he had a cow, E I E I O ...

Most farmers own animals, such as horses and cattle,
kept fenced in with barbed wire.  And sometimes an animal
gets badly cut.  When a farmer finds a bleeding animal,
the very first thing he does is find help.  When that
neighbor arrives, he/she would ask the farmer the name
of the animal and start reciting some weird incantations.
Once finished saying his/her magic words, he/she would
then inform the farmer that the bleeding would now stop
and the farmer should return to the animal.  The animal
would usually live, and the farmer would continue to
believe his neighbor had magic powers.

Was there anything supernatural in the happening?  How else
can anybody explain blood flowing from a wound coming to an
abrupt end by the mere reciting of strange incantations?  No
need for veterinarians when an animal witch doctor is around.

Because event B follows cause A this proves that A caused B.

Is that not correct, Mr. Michiel van der Vlist?

If I am wrong, please allow The Man of Science to prove it.

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

For those who do not understand Latin, here it is in English -

"After this, therefore because of this."

Your turn, Mr. Witt (not even google can help you now).  :)
