What's with the use of the word "linked"? Is thay synonymous with "correlated"?
I feel like it's just another way to suggest causation without knowing that it is causation.
- wccrawford 8y agoIt's more of a weasel word than correlated is, even. It suggests that there's a meaningful connection but it could just be coincidence, even moreso than correlation.
- singularity2001 8y agocorrelated is well defined. but can be used by weasels, so yes.
