I think it's fairer to say that it is possible. I am on a train so I can't do more than refer to http://lesswrong.com/lw/ev3/causal_diagrams_and_causal_models/

  After reading that, I think that post actually supports my claim and makes me think the same thing after reading Judea Pearl's book. There is a redefinition of causality going on, and a bunch of implicit assumptions, namely that the structure of causality that is created is correct. Basically, if you can generate a bunch of nodes and arrows that are correct and the only possible causal explanations, then sure you can compute causality given these assumptions. The comments in that article point out these same problems.
