Counterfactual Fairness Is Not Demographic Parity, and Other Observations
<|reference_start|>Counterfactual Fairness Is Not Demographic Parity, and Other Observations: Blanket statements of equivalence between causal concepts and purely probabilistic concepts should be approached with care.

I will take the opportunity to address some broader misunderstandings about counterfactual fairness.<|reference_end|>
