A physics instructor places a toy car on a table and pushes it from behind. He/she then asks the class "What just happened?"
Student: The car just accelrated because you pushed it.
Teacher: We don't use "because" when we talk about force and acceleration.
Student: But I just saw you push it!
Teacher: Who are you going to believe, me or your own lying eyes?
