“Hi Tyler,

So much of it hangs on the claim that the evidence is just correlational, not causal.

Zach Rausch and I show that this is not true; the experiments DO show causation, very clearly and consistently.

A lot of people heard our discussion, and enjoyed how spirited and yet civil it was.

We have 3 more coming. We think we can prove causality using just the existing experiments.

thanks for considering it.
