> So, no, you never prove anything nor imply anything at all with correlation. You're still guessing.

This is a totally unreasonable stance to take. You can't even imply anything at all with correlation? Really, nothing at all? It's no better than a random guess? Try actually doing some actual science with this attitude, and keep to it consistently, and let me know how far you make it. In fact, try the same thing with ordinary life, any kind of reality where your decisions have consequences in reality.
