Some cause-effect relationships documented in Wikidata are not useful in CauseGraph (e.g. "copper causes copper exposure"). Until now, these items have been filtered using specific_only() in wd2cg.py, which excludes such statements with no date information at either end. Now, however, people are adding more date information, e.g. for human discovery or first use of substances like copper and silver, causing these items to pass through that filter. The fiction filtering mechanism could be expanded to include things like "copper exposure", for ease of auditing and updating what is being filtered.
