Journal Journal: Verbiage: Correlation does not connote causation 5

I just read a comment: "Correlation does not connote causation." A search found the more common adage uses "imply" instead of "connote". Though, they are somewhat synonymous.

Anyway, that seems wrong. I mean, the whole point is that it does indeed imply causation. That's why we need to remind people that it does not equal causation.

Luckily you are the "Futurama quotes" person so it is funnier.
A "sufficient definition of time travel" could be that the language can only affect future variables, i.e. go forward in time. But time is a loop so it can affect variables in previous executions of the ".exe" or whatever.
That must have been in the last season why the characters did that.
