> A positive correlation just means better than chance. "Strongly" is vague, and might not be much better than chance.

No, adverbs like “strongly” modify adjectives (or verbs, but that’s not relevant here) not nouns; “strongly” is an intensifier that modifies “positive”, its not a separate adjective that modifies the noun “correlation”.
