"However, sometimes people commit the opposite fallacy – dismissing correlation entirely."

I'm not saying that it has to 100% caused by Crypto mining... I'm saying that the evidence strongly indicates it's a big part of the problem based on the mining bubble and the history.

Tossing around correlation fallacies can be a double edged sword. You could just as easily claim that people staying home and needing computers for work at home, is a correlation/causation argument also.

It's a pretty strong indicator that all of these factors are involved with the shortages. Including increased stay at home demand, supply shortages AND crypto mining increases.
