Coincidence that is statistically impossible seems to us
like an irrational event, and some define it as a miracle.
But, as Montaigne has said, “the origin of a miracle is in
our ignorance, at the level of our knowledge of nature,
and not in nature itself.” Glorious miracles have been later
on discovered to be obedience to the laws of nature or a
technological development that was not widely known at
the time. As the German poet, Goethe, phrased it:
“Things that are mysterious are not yet miracles.” The
miracle assumes the intervention of a “higher power” in
its occurrence that is beyond human capability to grasp.
Yet there are methodical and simple ways to “cause a
miracle” without divine revelation and inspiration. Instead
of checking it out, investigating and finding the source of
the event, we define it as a miracle. The miracle, then, is
the excuse of those who are too lazy to think. [3점]

답 : ①
통계적으로 불가능한 우연은 우리에게 비이성적인 사건처럼 보이
고, 어떤 이들은 그것을 기적으로 정의한다. 그러나, Montaigne가
말했듯이, “기적의 기원은 자연 그 자체가 아니라 자연에 대한 우리
의 지식수준에서, 우리의 무지에 있다.” 영광스러운 기적들은 자연의
법칙에 대한 순응으로서, 혹은 당시에는 널리 알려지지 않았던 기술
적 발전으로서 나중에 발견되어 왔다. 독일 시인 Goethe가 그것을
표현했듯이, “‘신비한’ 것들은 아직 ‘기적’이 ‘아니다’.” 기적은 그것의
발생에 있어서 인간이 이해할 수 있는 능력 너머의 ‘더 높은 힘’의
개입을 가정한다. 하지만, 신적인 계시와 영감 없이 ‘기적을 일으키
는’ 체계적이고 간단한 방법들이 있다. 그것을 확인하는 것, 즉, 그
사건의 근원을 조사하고 찾는 것 대신에, 우리는 그것을 기적으로
정의한다. 그렇다면, 기적은 생각하는 데 너무 게으른 사람들의 핑
계이다.

Correlations are powerful because the insights they

offer are relatively clear. These insights are often
covered up when we bring causality back into the picture.
For instance, a used-car dealer supplied data to
statisticians to predict which of the vehicles available for
purchase at an auction were likely to have problems. A
correlation analysis showed that orange-colored cars were
far less likely to have defects. Even as we read this, we
already think about why it might be so: Are
orange-colored car owners likely to be car enthusiasts
and take better care of their vehicles? Or, is it because
orange-colored cars are more noticeable on the road and
therefore less likely to be in accidents, so they’re in
better condition when resold? Quickly we are caught in a
web of competing causal hypotheses. But our attempts to
illuminate things this way only make them cloudier.
Correlations exist; we can show them mathematically. We
can’t easily do the same for causal links. So we would do
well to stay away from simply accepting the data a. [3점]
상관관계는 그것들이 제공하는 통찰력이 비교적 명확하기 때문에
강력하다. 이러한 통찰력은 종종 우리가 인과 관계를 그 상황으로
다시 가져올 때 가려진다. 예를 들어, 한 중고차 딜러가 경매에서
구입할 수 있는 차량들 중 어떤 차량에 문제가 발생할 가능성이 있
는지를 예측하기 위한 데이터를 통계학자들에게 제공했다. 한 상관
관계 분석은 주황색 차들이 결함이 있을 가능성이 훨씬 적다는 것을
보여 줬다. 심지어 우리가 이것을 읽으면서도, 우리는 이미 왜 그럴
지에 대해 생각한다. 주황색 차를 소유한 사람들이 자동차 애호가여
서 그들의 차량을 더 잘 관리할 가능성이 있는가? 아니면, 주황색
차들이 도로에서 더 눈에 띄고, 그래서 사고가 날 가능성이 적어 재
판매될 때 그것들이 상태가 더 좋은 것이기 때문인가? 곧 우리는 경
쟁적인 인과 가설의 함정에 빠진다. 하지만 이런 식으로 무언가를
설명하려는 우리의 시도는 그것들을 더 흐리게 만들 뿐이다. 상관관
계는 존재하며 우리는 그것들을 수학적으로 보여 줄 수 있다. 우리
는 인과 관계에 대해서는 쉽게 똑같이 할 수 없다. 따라서 우리는
상관관계의 배후에 있는 이유를 설명하려 하지 않는 것이 좋다.

① stay away from simply accepting the data as they are

② point out every phenomenon in light of cause and
effect
③ apply a psychological approach to color preferences
④ admit that correlations are within the framework of
causality
⑤ hold off from trying to explain the reason behind the
correlations
