Just because A occurs before B in « wall clock » time does not mean they are causally related.

But neither does a logical clock. The implication only goes one way: if A happens before B, then the logical clock of A has to be smaller than that of B. The other way does not have to hold.

For Lamport Clocks the implication is only one way. But for Vector Clocks it is both ways.
