"correlated" isn't an evil term, it doesn't mean there can't be useful observations in different domains.
To nit pick, since "correlation isn't causation" is often an internet meme to discredit any science.
- exe34 2y agoif 7 of the 9 are highly correlated, then breaching all 7 isn't as bad as it sounds, it's just one boundary.
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoAre they thought? Guess that is part of the meme, anybody can say "well correlation isn't causation" and sound kind of smart. Then the onus is on the other to go prove they aren't correlated, when they are not obviously correlated to begin with, so then need to devolve into a deep dive showing percentages of correlation. It's part of the 'easy to produce BS' type argument. I'd push back and say. Ok, then show how 7 of 9 are highly correlated. Just saying 7 of 9 are obviously correlated so boom, who cares. Is just as invalid as someone saying there is no correlation. You have to prove it either way. And there is no clear proof. And these aren't obvious. Just everything going bad at once doesn't mean they are highly correlated thus we really don't have to care about any single item.
