からといって and similar but not exactly the same だからといって

The literal japanese phrase used, is a way of speech approximating to "(Given/Even) it is said that condition/situation A, do not do B; B condition/situation does not follow A."

Meaning/Function: a conjunction which introduces the reason for someone's action or for someone's having some idea, and conveys disapproval of the action or idea

English counterpart: "just because..."; "even if..."; "even though..."

Note: can be contracted to からって in conversation

I was slightly confused with the explanation (With only A, it is not enough, so B), but after looking at the example sentences it makes more sense. The B seems to always be negative, in fact I can't think of an example with this grammar where it wouldn't be a negative verb, so maybe it would be better to reflect that in the title or How to Use, B(negative) Or perhaps more specifically, (not limited to B), or like (A being the case, not limited to B)
