Well it's fair to say that experiment shows causation but no I don't think you can say the correlation shows it works. I think it goes against the definition of the word.....

I found the article too dense to get as well, but I do think 'perhaps' we could use correlation more to assume causation. I think we are too cautious and certainly the haters always bring in correlation to stop science articles they think don't follow their beliefs. Not sure if that's compatible with the OP or not, it hurt my head.
