The statement is TRUE, but the conclusion is NOT.
‘Lurking Variables’ would include:
damage caused by fire
distance of firehouse from fire
number of firefighters
It is true there is a positive correlation between the number of firefighters at the fire and the damage done. The final statement should read “So sending ‘less’ firefighters causes more damage!
