I would observe that A: nothing I said precludes any of that; certainly "science's" job is not done with the mere observation of facts and B: nothing about any of that is helped by including spurious theories in the observation of a brute, unexplainable fact.

Also, I'd happily set the bar higher on correlations to be reported in this manner... then again, I consider 0.05 to be a mistake anyhow that should simply be rectified as that has been concretely demonstrated to not be enough, IMHO.
