A increases B vs. A leads to an increase in B

English Language & Usage Asked on April 23, 2021

I am not very sure about the differences in the tone and the implication between the following:

i) Printed books increased literacy.
ii) Printed books lead to an increase in literacy.

Are they different in that: "i)" points out a direct cause whereas "ii)" shows merely a positive connection but allowing other direct causes for the increase?

Regards,
Leon
