From the article: "Of course, this doesn’t prove causality,..."
If group 'B' is a subset of group 'A' and group 'C' is a subset of group 'A', and they overlap substantially, it doesn't mean to be 'B' you must be 'C'. Or that being 'B' makes you 'C' or vice versa. I just got lost typing that.
I'd bet more on the fact that people that like to do puzzles have better brain function which is why they do puzzles (and presumably solve them more often than people in general). If puzzles are too difficult to solve for you, you stop doing them, because it's no fun.
Now everyone knows why I don't do the crypto puzzles, or whatever they're called by the evil people that create them.

Tom, I actually LOLed. Cryptics are not evil. They simply ask you to look for another meaning.....beyond the obvious. I them, but of course, to each her own.Tom Shea wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 4:37 pm From the article: "Of course, this doesn’t prove causality,..."
