What do we mean when we say that correlation does not imply causality? What are some of the ways in which an empirical analyst attempts to disentangle the two? Provide examples.

causality: The relation between variable with explanation is called causation.
Examples to discriminate correlation and causation.
(1)
Drinking coffee makes people more productive.
This is the example of correlation because there people may think this is because of caffeine but it could be because when people go out to drink coffee shop, they met new people and get distracted by thousands of things, which can lead them to a productive day, so there is no certain cause and effect, thus it is a example of correlation.
(2)
After exercise, people get exhausted.
This is an example of causation because when people exercise, they muscles of the body works more than doing normal things and thus feel exhausted, here affect is the exhausted and the cause is exercise, hence it is an example of causation.

Correlation bound
Let x and y be two random variables such that:
Corr(x,y) = b, where Corr(x,y) represents correlation between x and y, b is a scalar number in range of [-1, 1]. Let y' be an estimation of y. An example could be y'=y+(rand(0,1)-0.5)*.1, rand(0,1) gives random number between 0, 1. I am adding some noise to the data.
My questions are:
Is there a way where I can bound the correlation between x, y' i.e. Corr(x,y')?I mentioned y' in light of random perturbation, I would like to know what if I don't have that information, where I only know that y' is a estimation of y. Are there any literature that cover it?What is the benefit of OU vs regression for modeling data, say data in the form of () pairs?
