Yes but your arguing the A effect on B is intentional and generally in one direction (despite examples to the contrary). Moreover you suggesting a two way causal link between realism and difficulty.

"Cause" and causal are not synonymous here. You seem to be looking for links that aren't there or haven't been proved

It's been a long time since I did serious stats, but I do remember one the core things is it's a lot easier to show correlation than it is to show causation.
