I think that if forces can exist without acceleration, but acceleration cannot exist without forces, students will view the force as more fundamental and/or the net forces can be the cause of acceleration. I thinks it's hard to say that acceleration can be viewed as the cause of forces when it is clear forces exist without acceleration.
I think the person who first mentioned this got pushed aside on a technicality.
