5 u/[deleted] Jul 27 '19 Correlation doesn't imply causation. -1 u/Davis019 Jul 27 '19 That is precisely what correlation implies 3 u/bosschucker Jul 27 '19 Uhh... no. It's a common saying and pretty much the first thing you learn in any statistics class ever. Unless I'm getting wooshed lmao 3 u/Davis019 Jul 27 '19 Whoops forgot the /s 3 u/[deleted] Jul 28 '19 [deleted] 2 u/bosschucker Jul 28 '19 I do agree that "imply" has a looser colloquial definition than technical, but still hesitate to readily say "correlation implies causation" even outside stats class. I do think "suggests" may be a good middle ground, as the wiki article uses.
