"However, correlation does not necessarily mean causation. For example, just because we show that teams with low average WiP have ¼ as many defects as teams with high WiP, doesn’t necessarily mean that if you lower your WiP, you’ll reduce your defect density to ¼ of what it is now. The effect may be partially or wholly related to some other underlying mechanism."
E.g., WIP could increase and defect density increase because a team is unskilled.
