Not sure what´s the point here, but some notes to open the discussion:
- All these correlations are based on the same population (namely, US population); so it´s kind of "normal" to get them.
- If this to disqualify the scientists that fall into the "correlation does not mean causation" thing, then you would need to prove it the other way around. That is, prove that there is not causal relation between cheese consumption and death by bedsheets. Fair, isn´t it ?
- Science is much more complex than these funny correlations. The hard thing is not to imply causation from correlation, but to identify that there is indeed a correlation between data series.
