Comment on Does X cause Y? An in-depth evidence review (2021)

Comments

It's layers of abstraction all the way down the light cone.

The causality is always present, we just don't have the processing power to ensure with 100% certainty that all relevant factors are accounted for and all spurious factors dismissed.

This is what I miss for important subjects: an actual ambitious, reductionist approach where in-depth cause-effect analysis is performed for each individual sample.
