The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Semi-supervised learning, causality, and the conditional cluster assumption (2019, background): “Despite data showing a positive correlation between chocolate consumption and the number of Nobel prizes per capita [17], we would not expect that force-feeding the population chocolate would result in higher research output.”
Assessment and learning: fields apart? (2017, background): “For example, chocolate consumption per capita and national cognitive function correlate well (0.79: Messerli, 2012), yet it remains a possibility that no amount of chocolate-eating will produce a Nobel prize winner.”
From Dependence to Causation (2016, background): “There exists a strong linear dependence between the chocolate consumption and the amount of Nobel laureates per country (Messerli, 2012).”
Does wheat make us fat and sick (2013, background): “Similarly, a correlation between the national consumption of chocolate and the number of Nobel Prize winners has been reported (Messerli, 2012).”
