- Could a different cause produce the same effect E in this case?Open
- Is there a plausible causal mechanism by which C could bring about E?Open
- How strong is the causal generalization linking C to E? Are there documented cases where C does not produce E?Open
- Are there intervening or confounding factors that could interfere with the causal chain from C to E?Open
- Is the apparent link between C and E merely a post hoc correlation rather than a causal relation?Open
