CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION. (Old statistics axiom)

One suspects that "camera brand and complexity" are really surrogates

for "photographer has a clue/cares/took the photo for this exact

purpose".


A very plausible suspicion.  That's of course the thing about finding

correlations in data - you're often (usually?) left guessing about

what's actually causal.  A bit of fun to look at, though.
