They are independent tests in the sense that there are people who fail one and pass the other. It’s exactly my point that nevertheless passing one test is correlated with passing another.
It seems to me that the social consensus that “women paint their nails and men don’t,” for example, arose organically and not as the result of careful categorization. Maybe I don’t understand what you mean by careful categorization.
My point is that if you group these tests into pairs, (1 and 2) and (2 and 3) seem to correlate without much help but (1 and 3) is different, it has a suspiciously large amount of human effort invested in strengthening the correlation.
I don’t know what you could mean by “suspicious.” Maybe there is a large amount of human effort invested in strengthening the correlation between 1. and 3. What would follow?
