Third possible reason causing both elements

Surely this also weakens a causal argument that is NOT partial?

Hi Julie,

Sorry for the worry.

I was referring to a third possible reason causing both cause and effect. In the book, this third reason weakens a causal argument that is partial. Does this third reason weaken a causal argument that is NOT partial too?

Correct, this would be an alternate cause for the effect, and for the cause as well.

Thanks!
