No, but it introduces a _specific_ relevance. Here's the counter-example,
using your logic:

  o  People rob banks to get money.

  o  However, money is used in many non-criminal contexts.

  o  Therefore, money has nothing to do with robbing banks.

Any further posts on the rules of logic in this area will be cheerfully ignored.
We'll just have to agree to disagree on this point.
