This is an illustration of correlation without causation.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Example:

The inspectors who are poorly informed calculate shoe size and decipher comprehension. You note that both are linked favourably. Their report claiming smaller feet lead to better reading skills is, of course, denied. Given the connection between the two, foot size does not affect better reading abilities.

First of all, age estimation is related both to the foot size and comprehension of the reading. The another missing element is a philosophical and analytical model that can be used to explain the causal relationships from age to foot and from age to understanding through reading. Older existence is associated with both and because we have a rational conceptual model for human experiences which is in line with such an explanation, we assume it is the origin of both.
