I hate to repeat a cliche but correlation != causation
1 comments

causation can only be expressed within your analytical framework. if it not good, then whole world is a chaos and nothing causes anything. causation is pure interpretation.

correlation is there regadless of what you think of it. correlation is interpretation-free.

point being, simplistic correlation != caustion is a mid-wit position.
