“Study” is now defined as “Arbitrary Correlations”.

Of course Gov’t policy will be predicated on these.

Currently “Mr Science” uses less than correlation to advocate for masks and mandates, and make claims about the safety and effectiveness of the death shots he’s pushing.

“results showed an association between coffee”

These things aren’t worth squat. It is the problem with the vast majority of dietary studies. They look for associations but there are so many variables that pulling out one or two significant ones is just a statistical game. Nothing meaningful.

Correlation and causation are both racist. So since if A=C and B=C then A=B: correlation is causation.
