Why is the contrapositive of "A caused B, then it must be the case that A occurred before B", "If phenomenon A did not precede B, then A cannot be the cause of B"
I thought with the contrapositive we flipped and negated:
Original Argument
A--->B
A occurred before B
Contrapositive
/B---->/A
B did not occur before A
