  5. Post Hoc fallacy is considering that event A and event B must be causally linked because they are part of a larger trend
  6. Post Hoc fallacy is the assertion that if event B follows event A multiple times, there can be no other cause for event B
  7. Post Hoc fallacy is believing that event A causes event B just because they have some similarities
