why is signature / avatar use banned, while namefagging / tripfagging is allowed? don't they, like, serve the same purpose?

lmfao you ACTUALLY just said probability = absence of cause. that's how i know you've never touched epistemology or stats in your life you absolute pseud CLOWN. probability doesnt replace causation, it models uncertainty around it. ever heard of bayes nets? no? NOBODY WITH A BRAIN IS SHOCKED: PART 2
and yeah, correlation means statistical association. thats it. no direction, no mechanism, no cause, just PATTERNS
SO IF YOU CLAIM ONE THING "LIKELY MEANS" ANOTHER, YOURE IMPLYING A DIRECTIONAL MECHANISM AKA A CAUSE
