Nicholas Shaxson added,
@nickshaxson @jwbstead - wouldn't you need to rule out other common cause e.g. GDP/capita
@MForstater @jwbstead no you wouldn't need to "rule it out", but "take it into account." Causality's still there - via e.g. health spending
@nickshaxson @jwbstead either way, it's not taken into account here, so relationship likely to be overestimated
@MForstater @jwbstead so what exactly is the 'overestimate' made in this graph, which is framed as a correlation?
@nickshaxson @jwbstead If x axis also broadly runs from poorer to richer countries then this may relate to maternal mortality on the y
@nickshaxson @jwbstead -also odd to use group bar chart for correlation instead of country-by-country scatter - subsumes 'data' to 'message'
