The point of language is to convey a shared concept, is that what you are doing? It seems like we already achieved that, which word choice would you prefer over “no correlation” to convey the same concept that there is not a useful signal to glean from an industry standard interview process

What word choice would we prefer? "Some". As in, "there is some correlation".

The issue isn't word choice. The words express what you're trying to say perfectly well. The issue is that we think you are wrong. Simply choosing different words isn't going to fix that.

I’ll wait for the other person to chime in

The “no” was to emphasis “negligible” correlation
