What is a post hoc in critical thinking?

0

“Post hoc ergo propter hoc” means “after that, therefore because of that”. Example: I didn’t wear my lucky shirt yesterday, and Middlesbrough didn’t win, therefore Middlesbrough didn’t win BECAUSE I didn’t wear my lucky shirt. In other words, just because one thing followed another, that doesn’t make the first thing the cause of the second.
