    In statistics, making inferences and drawing conclusions from a limited number of variables is considered disingenuous (at best).

      Lol wtf does that mean? What would a set of variables that isn’t “limited” even look like? What variables would you need to include to determine whether Anglophone countries had, indeed, built less housing and incurred greater price increases?
