When two covariates have a weak correlation, it means they are providing relatively unique information about the dependent variable (DV). This uniqueness in the information they provide helps in explaining different parts of the variance in the DV, which is advantageous for the analysis as it can lead to a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing the DV.
