A city proposed moving its historical records into a cheaper warehouse outside the centre. The proposal calculated savings in rent but did not include the cost of transporting documents to researchers or maintaining an additional reading room. Supporters described the lower rent as evidence of greater efficiency. But what has been saved if the same expense reappears under a different heading? The objection is not that a move must be rejected. It is that an assessment should follow the service through its whole operation, rather than stop at the departmental budget on which an initial saving happens to appear. A move could still be worthwhile, but that conclusion requires a broader comparison.

A wildlife documentary shows a fox entering a garden, followed by a close-up of a damaged bird feeder. Viewers may take the second image as the result of the first event. Yet the feeder was filmed several days earlier, after a storm. What, then, links the two images? In this case it is the edit, not an observed causal sequence. This does not mean that the fox could never damage a feeder. It means that this particular sequence cannot serve as evidence that it did so. Visual coherence can create a persuasive explanation even when the underlying recordings do not establish it.
