Missing an address of the methodological conceits. Well, whitewashing them altogether via statements like "Robust statistical associations". Heavy correlation can seem to suggest a causal relationship which is actually masking a complex driver which defies our (current) intuitive or even critical understanding. If you can't explain the physiological state or process which connects particular "genetic variants" with particular "brain-related traits", there might not be a connection.
