Could Taubes be using a nonstandard concept of causality? One that excludes the notion of proximal cause?
Or multiple causes that work additively and multiplicatively... i.e. why is x*(a+b)+c+d+f(g(i)) ... too big? Is it because of x? a? b? c? is it f or g which are bad? The question should not be "which is the singular cause", the question should be "changing which variables is the best?".
