That's a long winded way of stating that correlation coefficients are morally biased. It is kinda hilarious.

- mjburgess 5y agoThe moral bias enters when a person takes correlation coefficients to indicate meaning. It doesnt matter what value they have.
- wizzwizz4 5y agoWe're humans. We do that even when we're generating those coefficients in our own brains; it's irresponsible to teach a computer how to find lots of correlations, show the results to humans, then try to say "but we didn't mean to imply that the correlation was meaningful!".
