Put another way - and to your point - it's disingenuous to highlight correlation and completely dismiss possible causation. Simply put, that's not The Scientific Method.

The genes might have a trigger. To ignore that possibility is foolish (to put it kindly).

Science shouldn't do this. And (real) journalism should know better as well.
