Thanks for the post, and the series on causality generally. Another way to frame “there is no correlation without causation somewhere” is the maxim, no causes in, no causes out. Pearl references Cartwright here: condition on any “causally relevant” factor. Elsewhere, it is impossible to induce causality from probabilities alone. This is the lede, IMO.
