Correlations don’t entail a specific causal relation. Asking why asks for causal relations. I’d suggest a look at Reichenbach’s principle as necessary for science.

I’m getting really sick of conflating statistics with reasons. It’s like people don’t see the error in their methods and then claim the other side is censoring when criticized. Ya, they’re censoring non-facts from science and being called censors.
