Suspect any explanation of an event in which the cause and the effect are similar to one another, even when it is made on the highest authority.

Suspect all epidemiological findings unless they are supported by more reliable evidence.

Consider whether an event could have causes other than the one you first think of.

In allocating cause and effect, consider the possibility that they may work in the opposite direction to that for which you first plump.

Be sceptical of any causal relationship unless there is an underlying theory that explains it.

Remember that in most circumstances it is as reasonable to reason from effect to cause as from cause to effect.

In apportioning responsibility for an action, do not be influenced by the magnitude of its effect.

Don’t hold someone responsible for an action without first considering what others would have done in the same circumstances.

Don’t assume that others are like yourself.

Eat what you fancy.
