Ted is on his way to the Philosophy Department, early in the freezing morning. Although he doesn't know how cold it is, Ted conjectures that the temperature must be below 0dC. Out of curiosity, he checks the weather app of his smartphone. To his astonishment, he sees it is -30dC. He concludes that this is the least temperature to which he has been exposed ever.

Manipulability theories of causation, according to which causes are to be regarded as handles or devices for manipulating effects, have considerable intuitive appeal and are popular among many scientists and statisticians.
