All I'm trying to point out is that there is *zero* causation b/w attendance and grades. It's all association.
Based on what data?
This is a question that lies beyond the boundaries of what data can show. You can't prove causation with data alone, similarly can't disprove it.
... yes, that is a given. Yet you're saying that there is zero causation between attendance and grades, which is a pretty big claim, so I was wondering based on what you are making it?
Based on (1) adopting no causation as my default position until proven otherwise and (2) the lack of any evidence to establish such causation.
I guess you could consistently adopt a different default stance, e.g., that there is causation, in which case you might also consistently argue that there is no evidence to refute your stance. This illustrates one of the problems with causal inference in general.
