Someone, criticizing efficacy-of-relgions studies, wrote:
Correlation does not imply causation.
And then someone else, seeming to defend them, wrote:
I thought correlation doesn't PROVE causation.
And than Paul Brandon wrote:
A weaker inference.
The problem here is in the explication in the word "imply."
I was using the term in the dictionary sense of
" to involve or indicate by inference, association, or necessary consequence rather than by direct statement" -- not as in formal logic.
