Causal DAGs are a subset of Statistical DAGs.

Somewhat unhappy about this. Do you mean that causal DAG models are a subset of statistical DAG models? If so, that isn't literally true because causal models are sets of joints on potential outcomes, while statistical models are sets of joints on observables. (It is true that the former makes a lot more restrictions than the latter!)

Thank you! I have tried to fix this. Let me know if the new wording does not work.
