Well, you could work backwards and look at your assumptions.
Why is "We think this person has cancer so we gave them a CT scan and look! Now they've got cancer! It must be because of the CT scan!" the conclusion to jump to?
Please just read this article - https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar... It's funny that you instantly assumed that authors are stupid and did not think about this obvious pitfall. It's extra funny that you also accuse them of jumping to conclusion without actually reading the article.
I've read it. It's so comically unscientific.
What's unscientific in that?
