But when one disorder is nearly the same, neurologically, as the other, that is a valid comparison. You are acting like SFTS does sometimes with his favourite tactic of correlation=/=causation. Yes, both instances are fallacies, and yes, SFTS is at times correct, but you need to know how to apply both - throwing them and hoping it sticks is not a valid tactic.

You propurted that arranged marriges have a lower divorce rate than non arranged marriges because they were arranged.

A quick bout of google-fu shows that is not the case and that social and cultural factors rule the roost when it comes to divorce.

Then you point to some "study" where "professionals" have taken this into account. I have yet to see this study and think you are fudging the facts to fit with your stoic world view

It is not a favorite tactic of mine you just seem to use the fallacy often.
