  I believe that the correct description for the statement is Post Hoc.

  Post hoc ergo propter hoc (latin to: after this, therefore because of this) better known as post hoc fallacy is a logical fallacy that sustain; since event Y followed event X, Y must have been caused by X.

  Post hoc is a particularly tempting error because correlations appears to be casuality. The fallacy lies in a conclusion based only in the order of events and not taking into account other possible factors potentially responsible for the result.

  In the example given the resutl is undesirable and when this happens the pattern is often combined with the formal fallacy of denying the antecedent assuming the logical inverse. If you not invite Julie next time it will not rain.

  Another example to try to make it more clear in the real world could be a sportsman who adopts a pre-match ritual because one time he did the same before a game and got a good result. The reasoning here is exactly the same as in the statement given; the activity preceded the success so the activity must have contributed to it and by repeating  it on another match it would cause the same effect.  

  A variation of the Post hoc fallacy is called inflated casuality, this fallacy tries to boil down a happening to one singular cause when actually the event is more complex than that. The idea is not completely false but it is reduced to the minimum, this is why it´s called inflated.

  I hope that the answer help you to understand a little more about the post hoc fallacies in general. Greetings.

Does Wikipedia lie(sometimes)?
mariarad [96]
Formerly, Wikipedia was an untrustworthy source, for people could just post anything they knew. But now, it is a much safer source thanks to data processors. Whenever something is posted, it will then be processed and be considered thoroughly before being published publicly.
Hope this would help~

What are the positive and negative effects Intracoastal Highway which Kinect Sports in Brazil and Peru write a paragraph of at l
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The Intercoastal Highway in South America is a highway that connects the western and the eastern coast of the continent, running through the countries of Peru and Brazil. The big positive of this highway is that it is connecting the eastern and western part of the continent, enabling for easier transportation of goods, and easier movement of people, which is of great economic benefit for everyone involved. On the other hand, there are also negatives, with the two biggest being the destruction of lot of tropical rainforest, and deaths of animals. In order for this highway to be built, enormous amount of trees and other vegetation have been cut down, which is always a problem. Also, the wild animals are not used to a highway running through their habitat, so they do not know how to react, very often being run over by the vehicles passing through.
