      It can be strongly correlated, meaning there’s a definite relationship between them, while still being not significant like 3.6 min over a week. Most things that you hear cause cancer are only ~ .1 % extra probability over a lifetime but still highly correlated.

      Like, not to sound too stupid… But wouldn’t 3.60 minutes be just 4 minutes?

      3.6 minutes in the context of a 40 hour work week is a 0.15% increase in work. No sane person would consider that clinically significant. If they’re claiming there’s a significant difference of 0.15% between the groups, they’re making shit up.
