English 101... For beginners.
Causal Words: a causal conjunction such as ‘because’ introduces a statement describing the cause of something.
The words "highest" and "lowest" are not causal words, they are adjectives:
Adjectives are words that describe or modify another person or thing in the sentence.
Furthermore, the words "highest" and "lowest" are the superlative forms of the adjectives "high" and "low", and their only function is to describe or modify the noun, or subject, of the sentence - in this case they describe or modify the word "imports".
Lets look at the sentence without adjectives,
"Imports are during booms and they are during recessions"
Like your entire argument, that sentence doesn't make sense.
Not according to the formula for calculating Gross Domestic Product:
Imports are subtracted since imported goods will be included in the terms G, I, or C, and must be deducted to avoid counting foreign supply as domestic.
Non sequitur (Latin for "it does not follow"), in formal logic, is an argument in which its conclusion does not follow from its premises.
