4. Since AČ - BČ = (A + B)(A - B), factorising both sides give you (A + B)(A - B) = B(A-B)

5. Take out (A-B) from both sides, and you get A+B=B, therefore A=B-B

6. So A=0. Since A as an algebra can be anything, and A=0, anything can be nothing.

Now why can't causation be correalation?
The problem is in step 5.
A=B therefore (A-B) = 0
You divide by zero, making the equation meaningless.

Besides it reads 0=0 from step 3 on anyways.
