It's the fallacy of stating or thinking that if 'B' came after 'A', then 'A' must have caused 'B'.
Here's a ridiculous example:
Every day at 4:00 in the morning, I rub this gold ring that I always carry in my pocket, and every day, within two or three hours, the sun rises.
This has been happening regularly, for almost five years now, so I know that I can totally rely on it..
I'm getting ready to write to my Congressman and tell him that if he does not send me five million dollars within a week, I will not rub the ring for a week, and that will cause havoc with farming, transportation, and weather, since the sun will not rise for a week.
A post hoc fallacy occurs when one assumes that because one event followed another, the first event caused the second. This logical error can lead to incorrect conclusions and decisions. To avoid this fallacy, it's important to look for actual evidence of causation rather than just relying on the sequence of events.
