Careful - there is a very big difference between correllary, and causational findings.
A guy who gets lung cancer from long-term smoking is a causational relationship; gaming and aggression share a correlary relationship - just because both factors increase at the same time does not mean they're directly linked.
Most anti-gaming pundits usually try to convince their audience that it's a causational relationship, which unprofessional, imho.
