The correlation is down to chance. Correlation and causation warrant plenty of suspicions because researchers - and consumers of said research - fall prey to: Number fetishism Correlation hunting Tyler Vegihn compiled somefunny misleading statistics examplesto prove this exact point: ...
Although this is not enough to establish causation, repeated tests with a high degree of statistical significance can help researchers eliminate the possibility that their results are clouded by random chance.
