Ah, the cheapest HN retort under every science post ("correlation is not causation").
>This isn't causation. Turning 50 doesn't trigger anything. Whatever happens is happening due to other factors, and they're tracking it in, predominantly, 50ish year olds.
Did anybody said it's some magical time number alone?
Even the title is "WHY our memory slips after age 50", not "Our memory slips BECAUSE OF age 50".
- newsomix9xl 2mo agoCheap doesn't mean incorrect. And the title and article imply causation, your retort not withstanding.
