Very well stated. I've actually heard of multiple people training grip strength, "so they will live longer" without looking into other aspects that might greatly impact their health. Being such a common theme in today's society, how might we shed more light on this flaw in thought process for the public at large? The same type of thought process seems to be pervasive in so many facets of society, with little regard for influencing factors, mechanisms, and confounders. Definitely something worth further reflection as to how we might cause meaningful change, if we could encourage people to look at problems in a less reductionistic manner

Such a common and dangerous mistake!
