I feel like its more just that correlation is not causation, a widely popular idea outside of hackers and tinkerers.
I won't argue it's a hacker mindset - it's about learning what matters and what's accidental.
If a article headlines saying "People who wake up early live 20 years longer than people who sleep in", and then it turns out it wasn't the act of waking up early at all, rather, early risers then went out for a run or a swim and people who slept in but did the same actually lived even longer than those early risers, it's important to know that.
