The screen time debate is pitting parents against each other 2018-03-08T05:00:00Z One weakness of the study, they said, is the possibility for “reverse causation” – that people in poor health are more likely to use fringe banking products. People using payday loans more likely to report poor health, study finds 2018-03-05T05:00:00Z Whether this is direct causation, and Academy members are being directly influenced by these Tomato scores, is impossible to say. Rotten Tomatoes may have radically skewed the Best Picture race 2018-03-02T05:00:00Z This being a very brief article, I would say that the mention of correlation vs. causation is not buried "deep in the story". Eating Fast May Raise Obesity Risk 2018-02-22T05:00:00Z We should be cautious about embracing data before it is published in the academic press, and must always avoid treating correlation as causation. The town that’s found a potent cure for illness - community | George Monbiot 2018-02-21T05:00:00Z But perhaps that’s partly because of reverse causation: poor health impeding educational progress rather than educational progress promoting good health. Review | Is education a waste of time and money? 2018-02-16T05:00:00Z This “spooky action at a distance,” as Einstein called it, contradicts either local causation or the very notion that particles A and B are “real,” in the sense of existing independently of observation.

Generations of Philly families are incarcerated together 2018-02-03T05:00:00Z This correlation doesn’t prove causation but certainly warrants a closer look from Health and Human Services and fair-minded academics. The Opioid Dens of Medicaid 2018-01-26T05:00:00Z Let's not forget that correlation does not equal causation and the underlying biological mechanisms are not clear at all.
