Do rate cuts cause recessions?

I just read an interesting theory that recessions are caused by rate cuts.  Usually, you would think that a rate cut would help prevent a recession.

it's not the rate hikes that stifle economic growth and send stocks sliding that traditionally telegraph the start of a recession - it's the first rate cut following a tightening cycle that is usually the trigger. Case in point: the last three recessions were all preceded with the Fed cutting, i.e., the Fed loosened policy within three months before the previous three recessions, cutting by 0.25% in 1991, 1.5% in 2001 and 0.5% in 2007. ... the Fed is now too late to save the economy, to wit: "the Fed eases immediately prior to a recession", which is also why the steepening yield curve we are experiencing now is a far more ominous reversal to the recent flattening trend than if the curve had merely continued to flatten.

Maybe the Fed should just keep hiking until the recession starts instead of trying to predict recessions.  (After all, a 2.5% rate isn't that high and by itself won't cause a recession.)  Instead the predictions become self-fulfilled prophecies.
