    Right, I’m just venting my old frustration with that specific book because they only used the correlation as “proof”, rather than indeed looking at more causal signals like studies on lead poisoning.

    It is certainly also true that correlation doesn’t mean that there’s no causation, even in cases were there are no other experiments yet to support a causal relationship.
