Ability to suggest reversal of a correlation

I sometimes see correlations that look like they’re backwards, for instance “you post more on Facebook when you get more Facebook reactions/comments”. Obviously this is backwards; the posts are what cause the reactions/comments, not the other way around! So it would be nice if we had a way to report these correlations to you so that they can be inverted before they are displayed.

    Yes!! Often it’ll say I have a better day when I use my “tarot reading” tag, when it’s the exact opposite. I tend to not do a tarot reading when I’ve had a bad day! I do them in the evening, but there’s no way to denote what time of day the tag is used. (Yet. There’s another suggestion for that.)

    Come to think of it, reporting these things to the developers wouldn’t make sense for custom attributes since those could have different meanings for everyone. So maybe it would be better to save a flag on your user profile that the particular correlation should be reversed for you, and only if there are no custom attributes involved would there be the option to report the inverted relationship.
