Why?

Well, what if the only people in the study populations who made a serious, conscious and effective effort to up their exercise were the ones who reported they did a lot of exercise? That seems likely. And it didn’t help. They died anyway.

Why is it that reporting of health studies seems to be an endless pool of correlation/causality confusion? Is there something unusual about the numeracy of people conducting, reporting and consuming health studies?
