The way I see it, under Thomism, a cause is based on an essential relationship. If the relationship is accidental then it would be, as you say, simply coexistence. Early in this thread @Belacqua accurately described this critical essential/accidental distinction in Scholatic nomenclature.
Your interpretation of Thomism is different that ours. I do not think the dispute rises to the level that justifies accusations of ignorance.
