Oh, ouch, yeah. We already know that misinformation tends to get amplified, the last thing we need is a starting point full of harmful misinformation. There are lots of "causal beliefs" on the internet that should have no place in any kind of general dataset.

I think this could be solved much better by using even a modestly powerful LLM to do the causal extraction... The website claims "an estimated extraction precision of 83% " but I doubt this is an even remotely sensible estimate.
