Causal Inference — Uncertainty

Direct answer

Causal Inference — Uncertainty is bounded to the inspected authority’s exact method, conditions, and limitations; it does not inherit the definition’s evidence status.

Answer contract

Apply the uncertainty lens only to the exact inspected source scope; do not infer authority from adjacent topics.

Evidence and exact locators

src-causal-what-if — Chapter 1, p. 12, “A definition of causal effect”. Supports: Defines causal effects as contrasts under alternative treatments in a target population and distinguishes causal from associational quantities.

What the evidence does not establish

Does not establish identification for a particular dataset, the validity of a causal model, or an effect estimate.
