Full Idea
The label 'probabilistic causation' is misleading. What you have is not a weakened or tentative kind of causing, but a probability of there being a cause.
Gist of Idea
Probabilistic causation is not a weak type of cause; it is just a probability of there being a cause

A Reaction
The idea of 'probabilistic causation' strikes me as an empty philosophers' concoction, so I agree with Heil.
