> In some cases it's a confusion be correlation and causality. I wouldn't say confusion. If you read Ramsey Dukes for example, a magician focusing on correlation rather than causation is the whole point.

That is, according to Dukes, a magician is intentionally uninterested in causation, and leaves it for the scientists to worry about.
