Somehow, the "correlation does not imply causation (but it furtively suggests it, etc)" idea is linked in my brain with the "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence (but it is if you're a Bayesian)" idea.

At the risk of diluting the original good idea, maybe doesnotimply.com could incorporate the latter also.
