Now I think this probably is causation, but pointing out that the correlation is really strong is not an argument against "correlation is not causation".

Reflexively trotting out "correlation is not causation" is a thought terminating cliche. It short circuits our thinking. People often stop at the statement, feeling satisfied in their scientific abilities.
