Most courses on statistics don't discuss causality (even at top unis).
I'm always puzzled by this!
And for some time I wanted to change it.

Cannot Answer Exactly?
Try Causal Bounds
Answering causal questions might be difficult. Causal bounds offer a useful alternative when exact answers are not possible.
Why does it matter?
