It's... everyone has heard the phrase "correlation does not imply causation." Of course I understood what you meant. Please do not condescend this much (again, I can't tell if your explanation of why this can be overapplied was meant to sound like it was directed at a five-year-old, or if that's just how you speak.) But just because it can be used incorrectly does not make it an invalid observation, and in the context of your discussion the meaning seemed perfectly clear. Just because a bunch of people on reddit are fond of using a phrase doesn't mean you should respond to a legitimate point by saying "You're just copying that from reddit! I've thrown a wrench into your mindless argument!" It's a well-understood phrase for a reason.

I apologize for dragging this out, and I know it's unproductive, I just found it really baffling to watch someone respond to a standard point with such a high level of totally unwarranted disdain. And then to think any disagreement is because I've never heard the phrase "correlation does not imply causation"?
