BTW, scientific controls, while quite valuable for the science itself, are often abused in the reporting of science, here's a common way it is done: Study to show whether X causes Z via cause A, controlling for B,C,etc. Negative. Media reports as "study shows X doesn't cause Z."
This has also been abused by meta-studies that purport to find "no link between X and Z" when they are dominated by studies that controlled away the causal link between X and Z.
