    Yeah this is dodgy. Basically he’s saying “we cannot say something but we’ll say it anyway,”. You only need 1 confounding factor or 1 incorrect adjustment to completely break the validity of any link.

    To say the link got stronger as they adjusted for different confounding factors doesn’t mean anything. It’s a specious argument.
