Respectfully, you seem to be confusing correlation with causation. A very common mistake.

I don't believe that drowning deaths are caused by ice cream sales either, but I can easily prepare the data in a way that makes that appear like a solid assertion.

Edit: I am intrigued by the downvotes. Perhaps I am wrong and ice cream sales actually do cause drowning deaths.
