Thanks for clarifying the point for me instead of simply downvoting. I see what was meant here now. But I think the point could have been made better by pointing out the lack of causal evidence, rather than complaining how it could be rationalized because pretty much anything in the world can be rationalized if you try hard enough.

The point was made best because it presented a counterexample. Merely pointing out 'ad-hoc fallacy' (or similarly, my pet hate 'citation needed') might make the author and a few other people feel good about themselves for seeing the flaws, but it's a lazy response which adds the smallest value greater than saying "I disagree", and is better suited to a points-scoring exercise rather than a discussion.
