Totally agreed. It would be unreasonable to expect otherwise.
That said, now that there’s more formal evidence of it, we’re in a better place to ask questions like “what are the systemic effects of that on policy?” and “are we okay with those effects?” and “what do we want to do about it?”

That said it surely is something else leading to both.
