Do you think that learning more about causal inference is not worth it because you're running experiments anyway, or because you're interested in predictive questions? In that case, I've written a paper just for you, out now in SPPC: compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I guess my approach would be to just include A,B,C as predictors of Z without testing whether A,B predict C (if I have no reason to assume this). I would look at the correlation matrix to detect potential variance inflation (whether A,B are correlated with C) in the regression model

@jkflake.bsky.social made such a good case for a really fundamental and devastating realization-if we can’t show thar our measures are measuring what they are suppose to be measuring-then everything after the methods section in a paper is meaningless. This should give us all pause and reflection
If C mediates the effect of A on Z, then the second regression would mistakenly show no effect of A on Z, only the effect of C on Z. The same applies to B. But this problem really depends on your causal assumptions re the relationships between A, B, C and Z
