Hi Joe
While what you are saying about the meaning of the word 'correlation' is
correct...
The subject being discussed (Peter's words) was...
> there is NO correlation between color and temperament. There is also
> NO correlation between temper and latitude. And there is no
> correlation between color and ANYTHING.
A better word to use in this circumstance is linkage, which implies
cause and effect, so rather than discuss the word, let us re-phrase the
original statement... We could say that there is no correlation between
colour and race of bee, we could also say that manifestation of temper
is not caused by the colouration of a bee.
The statement really being made is that colour cannot be taken as an
indicator of race or temper.
