You can dismiss the idea that correlation implies causation all you want, but that's the cornerstone of many observational techniques. Again, correlation does not PROVE causation, but the very fact that people even bother pointing this relationship out should point you in the direction that it does IMPLY it. If it didn't imply it, if it didn't suggest it, there would be no need to bring the relationship up.
