I said at most 0.5, not exactly 0.5. The latter requires a level of predictive confidence that I don't have, so if you're asking what the latter feels like, then I don't know. If you're asking what the former feels like, it basically means I didn't expect the correlation to be more than, say, the correlation between someone's SAT scores and their ACT scores.

That makes sense. Thank you.
