You're intentionally ignoring what I'm saying and I'm not going to continue engaging with it.

I'm sorry for the unnecessary attack.

I don't see how "predict" can be seen to lead one to saying it "caused" something. I think context also matters, a journal title has exact meanings for words in mind unlike most of the media.

Please don't do this here, even if another commenter is being unfair or provocative.
