"Sensitive dependence on initial conditions"

"Correlation does not equal causality" would get my vote.

Somebody had already claimed that one, and the dependence on initial conditions is one that is often overlooked. But yeah, the difference betwixt correlation and causation is well worth noting.

Vote early, vote often. Teach your children how to detect the damned lies in statistics.
