Blanket statements of equivalence between causal concepts and purely probabilistic concepts should be approached with care. In this short note, I examine a recent claim that counterfactual fairness is equivalent to demographic parity. The claim fails to hold up upon closer examination. I will take the opportunity to address some broader misunderstandings about counterfactual fairness.

翻译：因果概念与纯概率概念之间的全称等价论断应审慎对待。本文针对近期关于"反事实公平等价于统计均等"的论点进行考察，通过严谨辨析发现该论断难以成立。借此机会，本文还将进一步澄清关于反事实公平的若干普遍性误解。
