Something I've been wondering; are Amazon recommendations a False Cause Fallacy? It's like:

  1. Many people who liked Item A liked Item B.
  2. You liked Item A.
  3. Therefore you will like Item B.

Even if Item A and Item B have nothing to do with each other. (If you enjoy the comic songs of Mitch Benn, why not buy a scholarly text about video games?)
