At the end of the day, a correlation analysis will never replace a causal study. So really un-intuitive relationships would likely have never been uncovered with this approach. But I believe most of the questions we're typically asking - especially in a business context - are super intuitive and, even with a big causal study, they are never that "surprising" - don't you agree?
