it was an example of a correlation != causation
the parent comment was basically creating a causational logic for why vegetarians are more likely to be "smart"-er. which is not true.
- rendall 23d ago> > Compared with meat-eaters, vegetarians were more likely to have a higher educational level, whereas vegans had a lower education level > this is such a... wrong conclusion to make from the study. the study has found a correlation and by no means is it a causation. I'm not seeing any assertion of causation from that quote.
