Everyone smart enough will tell you that Correlation does mean causation.
It's rather the other way around. There are a lot of things that correlate with each other but most aren't.
It might be horrible news, but just because you wake up each day when the sun shines doesn't mean that the fact that you wake up each day makes the sun go up each day.

If Einstein got wiser with age then you could say that it was significant that it was his last year that he was vegetarian.
No.
Einstein didn't produce the thing for which he's famous in those years and even didn't understand the way physics progressed and thought that the young physicists that developed quantum physics were wrong.

There no way that Einstein becoming in vegatarian in 1953, 54 or 55 made him intelligent when we did his major work in 1905 and 1911.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
