I had a similar email correspondance with editorial@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx If I
understood him correctly he is not arguing that their is no correlation between
market which is expedient. He is rather refuting the "Causal Explanation". That
B occured because of A etc. The binary explanations, if and then explanations.
Again Correlation explanations are "cybernetic in nature." That B occured
because A, C, E, F, G , etc. could not occur giving B the highest probability
of occuring.
