      Pearson r:0.993
      Target Correlation (r):0.8
      Anscombe's / Simpson's Rule:

      Pearson correlation r = Cov(X, Y) / (σ_X × σ_Y) measures only linear association. Notice how toggling a single extreme leverage outlier dramatically flips or degrades the regression slope! Never report correlation without visualizing the scatter plot.
