〜からといって

Meaning

Expresses that, even though there is such a reason, it does not necessarily follow that the natural conclusion holds; this is stated afterward as a correction. It raises a seemingly reasonable ground while stating that the ground alone is not enough to reach the conclusion. Followed by a negative-toned statement.
