The dataset generation failed because of a cast error
Error code:   DatasetGenerationCastError
Exception:    DatasetGenerationCastError
Message:      An error occurred while generating the dataset

All the data files must have the same columns, but at some point there are 7 missing columns ({'question_property', 'story_id', 'graph_id', 'reasoning', 'formal_form', 'query_type', 'rung'})

This happened while the csv dataset builder was generating data using

Imagine a self-contained, hypothetical world with only the following conditions, and without any unmentioned factors or causal relationships: CEO has a direct effect on director and manager. Manager has a direct effect on employee. Director has a direct effect on employee. Method 1: We look at how manager correlates with employee case by case according to director. Method 2: We look directly at how manager correlates with employee in general. To understand how manager affects employee, is it more correct to use the Method 1 than Method 2?
