There is a saying in science and statistics, “ Correlation does not imply causation.” While records of this phrase go back to the 1880s, it has become more popular and widely used since the 1990s. The phrase cautions against concluding that one event causes another based solely upon observed data, without the use of rigorously designed experiments.

One of the reasons you want to interview people in three different places is that candidates will usually be at their very best in the first interview (likely in your office ).
