You have a habit of denying the obvious that is leading me to believe you are trolling, your profile and post history to the contrary.

You said, word for word, "I am not confused."

You then proceeded to say, "Confusing correlation with causation is a very common logical error -- you are not alone." This is quite clearly a statement that I am confused about correlation vs. causation.

Therefore, semantically, you said "I am not confused, you are" plus the well established point that confusion was related to correlation and causation.
