    Cars have windows and can move.

    Houses have windows and cannot move.

    Therefore it’s not the windows that make the car move, but something else entirely.

        Not quite. It just follows that windows are not a sufficient condition to make something move.

        Consider this:

        A person has legs and can walk. A dead body has legs and cannot walk. Therefore legs are not necessary in order to walk?

        No, legs are just not sufficient you also need to be alive and some other things.
