Every time a scientific article "x may cause y" is posted, there are a couple dozen "correlation does not equal causation" retorts, as if the researchers involved were unaware of this exceedingly basic and elementary principle.

It's such a waste of comment - an intellectual platitude. Can you point specifically to how this research is flawed, or how alternative research offers a better explanation?
