Somebody's Third Law: the comments on any study of anything will inevitably contain some guy reminding the world that "correlation != causation".

This will happen whether the study actually asserts some kind of causal link or not. In this case, it doesn't.



Just because "correlation != causation" comments correlate with studies, does not mean idiots like me cause them. I pose that it is the fault of the Study, and not the crazy person on the other end of this keyboard.
