This just seems like analyzing something until you’ve turned yourself around. By “extremely relevant” I don’t mean r=1. I just mean it matters.

Imagine doing that same analysis on a report of a country’s metal deposits. I’m sure it would be all over the place. But saying this topic isn’t worth writing ten words about would be silly.

As I explained it: the data indicates that it does not matter much, if at all. It just is not "extremely relevant".

This does not mean that it might not be extremely relevant in a certain subdomain, such as academics. But generally? No.
