You sound like an expert, but I have a really strong negative reaction to saying the issue is just nomenclature.
People give lip service to "correlation is not causation" by say, well, we're not going to call our correlations causation, we're just going to use them like that. There, are your delicate sensibilities satisfied?
No! Because if you have the wrong causal relationships whatever you call them used to predict stuff, the predictions will be wrong! Totally, not 1% off.
