## Proposition
|
|
|
|
>"It is more reasonable to believe that saturated fat-induced increases in serum cholesterol and/or LDL and/or ApoB will increase cardiovascular disease risk than it is to believe the opposite.""
|

|
|
## Argument
|
|
|
|
<div style="text-align: center">
|
|
<font color="CC6600">
|
|
<b>P1)</b></font> If measuring and controlling for "other factors" is required to establish a variable as an "independent causal agent", then in order to establish each "other factor" as an "independent causal agent", every other "other factor" needs to be measured and controlled for.

## Analysis
|
|
|
|
1) Ask Miguel if he can recreate my position.
|
|
3) Ask Miguel if "other factors" are independent causal agents.
|
|
2) If no, ask why we should care about them or ask if they are confounders.
|
|
3) If yes, run syllogism below.
|
|
|
|
