Correlation vs causation, eh?

There is causation, just not directly from ice cream to vapor lock. It's a diagram with three entities, ice cream -> time to cool -> vapor lock
That's the nature of all situations in which "correlation is not causation".
It actually is causation. There just happens to be a causal step in between.
