Well, as you remind us with tedious regularity, correlation is not causation. She actually died of a snakebite. Tragic case, and barbaric practise, but let's stick with the facts.
I have a pet termite. His name is Clint. Clint eats wood.

What facts did my post not stick to?

When did I last mention correlation not being causation?

You implied in the thread title that her death was the result of her confinement in the hut.

I quoted the Guardian's headline. Take it up with them.

Any answer on when I last said correlation was not causation?

I can't remember precisely, but you used to do it frequently, even when the causal link was obvious to any sensible person.
