Many (if not most) human dynamics do not have a single direction of causality.

The whole premise of cognitive behavioral therapy is that human psychology can be described as nested feedback loops between behavior, emotion, and cognition.

The lack of a single direction is a really good point. In my mind I was thinking more from the perspective of tempering evocative headlines. But my rule also lacks quite a bit of nuance
The headline is hardly evocative. It states a fact found by the researchers that there is a correlation. That one causes the other is a conclusion drawn by the reader.
