    Correlation is not causation. I agree that vidya doesn’t cause crime, but the correlation is not proof of that.

      Sure, but they’ve only ever had correlational evidence to suggest video games cause violence. Their own correlational evidence does not support their conclusions, and that should be called out and ridiculed.
