I said that expecting such a correlation to exist.

The line is between inferences of bad behavior -> bad result such as "you drive risky so you must be at risk of an accident" and pure correlation "you drive risky so you must be a man so you must be at increased risk of prostate cancer".

And conclusions should be assumed to be of the latter kind unless shown otherwise.
