While correlation does not explicitly denote causation, it certainly can imply causation. In your OP, and afterwards, which is the subject of this thread, you refused to consider the above possibility, and still do.
(I did not *quote* the gemara but rather referred to it and an adam gadol’s interpretation of it, and, in doing so, inadvertently omitted part of it due to having not looked at it inside. Again, I regret that error. But I *quoted* the Lekach Tov for you with exact perek, pasuk and dibur haMaschil. Twice.)
I’m not angry, but I do wish I weren’t wasting my time. What you could have said was that you haven’t seen it but if it is as I am quoting then whatever position you would take…rather than saying you couldn’t find it and simply stonewalling.
So what it comes down to is that you’ve already decided what you hold and nothing anyone tells you will change that.
