I think it has to be said, correlation is not causation. While I believe that in this case it's almost certainly true, it's still not scientific to claim that it is indeed true until you can prove causation. When you do the math, it turns out that 100% of people who confuse correlation with causation end up dead. Dangerous stuff.

The author addresses both of the possible reasons that correlation and causation could be unlinked here (reverse causality and common cause). Did you have a comment about them?
