p(sun rises|rooster crows)=1

Is the rooster causing the dawn?

I think you'd have a fair argument if you considered a complement, i.e. P(sun rises|no rooster crowing) = 0.

Except if the rooster is dead or you put the rooster in a dark room.

p(sun rises|rooster crows)=1 remains valid when “rooster crows” is false.
