I would think that a "predictive" relationship requires a predictor. If roosters crowed only on uninhabited planets, no one would claim that they cause the sun to rise. Similarly, if roosters crowed only at noon, no one would claim that they cause the sun to rise. Not every imaginable relationship is necessarily predictive.
Think of it as a Venn diagram where casual relationships are a tiny circle inside a much much larger circle of predictive relationships. Randomly throwing darts at the circle, you're much more likely to land outside the inner circle than inside it.
You can't "randomly" throw darts at a circle. If you are throwing "at" the circle, you are aiming for it and there is nothing "random" about the deliberate act of aiming.
You can't "randomly" throw darts at a circle.
It helps if you're blindfolded while doing it.
