One of the hallmarks of Pappy's flawed reasoning is his pattern of confusing coincidence with causality.
What's sad is that there are a lot of people who do exactly the same thing. I had a friend who, anytime the subject of politics came up, insisted that Nixon was the greatest President in the history of the US. His rationale?
"Well I got laid more when Nixon was in office"
Even pointing out that he was 25 years younger then, didn't have 3 extra bowling balls worth of belly fat, and his hairline hadn't receded past his ears, did nothing to shake his belief in the power of one Tricky Dick over another.
