What I really enjoy about this post is that in a logical manner it exposes the weakness with this type of research.
The correlations aren't useless but they aren't strictly useful either. Instead what is useful is developing a pseudo DAG of cause and effect for behavior.
You also elude to how optimizing for one variable can lose sight of all the other down stream decisions that correlate to the result.
I can speak to my own anecdote as well since working out more my partner and I have enjoyed more intimacy. Is it strictly the increase in muscle mass, probably not I'm not exactly swol or ripped at all, but more likely one of the meriad of other down stream benifits due to the change in behavior associated with the activity.
