The word "implies" in the phrase "correlation implies causation" typically uses the technical meaning of imply in logic which is quite different from it's common usage as a synonym for "hint" or "suggest".
Good point. I wonder if people (other than me) normally understand this sentence that way?
Most people do not know logic, so it's unlikely to be that widespread.
