The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world mediation that includes c' is somehow different than a multiple regression model.

A version of "The Office" meme format featuring the character Pam Beesly.
In the top panel, hands hold up two statistical path analysis diagrams side-by-side for comparison. The left diagram is titled "PATH ANALYSIS: MEDIATION MODEL" and shows independent variable A, mediator variable B, and dependent variable C, with paths labeled rho_AB, Beta_1, and Beta_2. The right diagram is titled "PATH ANALYSIS: MULTIPLE REGRESSION MODEL" and shows predictor variables IV A and IV B leading to outcome variable DV C, labeled with the exact same paths (rho_AB, Beta_2, and Beta_1). The yellow subtitle reads, "Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture."
In the bottom panel, Pam looks directly at the camera with a subtle smile. The yellow subtitle reads, "They're the same picture," delivering the punchline that a mediation model and a standard multiple regression model are mathematically identical in this context.
