The UK triggers article 50.

I read that BBC article you provided. Graduates vote remain and up the scale they go with the higher they are educated. Remain (with the EU) means anti-Brexit and Leave (the EU) is pro-Brexit, correct? If so, then I would say that if education levels and wealth levels are directly linked (which makes sense), then I would say that I am probably correct and somewhere in there you must have your terminology fussed up.

Education levels and wealth levels are linked; but wealth level is not predictive of voting patterns, while education level IS.

There's nothing wrong with my terminology; you are just making a false assumption about how correlation translates between multiple factors.

You are making an assumption that is contradicted by the evidence.

His problem is essentially the correlative variant of the  fallacy of the undistributed middle. Toss a coin twice and let A = whether or not the first toss was heads, B = whether or not the second toss was heads, and C = the number of heads tossed.

For a fair coin, it should be obvious that A is correlated with C, and B is correlated with C, but A and B have no relationship as they are two independent tosses.
