Is there some law which states that every discussion on any new study must include the words "Correlation is not causation"?
Whatever the flaws of this study may be, confusing correlation with causation is not one of them. The fact that foot size is correlated with facial prettiness is (if true) interesting; but nobody is suggesting that having small feet causes your face to get prettier, nor that having a pretty face causes your feet to shrink.
