Some example of linear thinking ...

- Cholesterol causes heart disease ..

- Smoking causes mouth cancer ..

- Milk leads to bloating ..

- Weapons to mass shootings ..

- fat is all bad - protein is all good

While there are sure some connections .. but then the connections are to so many more factors ..

Don't trust , verify !

Discussion

To explore a situation thoroughly and gain valuable insights, we might ask:

-What are the key factors influencing this situation, and how do they interact with each other?

We might also ask

- cui bono

- who doesn’t benefit

From these we may reasonably derive likely sources of support and opposition.
