Ummm. . . no. There's nothing subtle about it. Causation means something causes something, and correlation just means two things are found together.

To take an extreme example-- everyone who's ever drunk water has died eventually. There's a perfect 1:1 correlation there. But to say that drinking fresh water kills people would be dumb.
