Yes, but the hypothesis in the paper (soldier crabs can implement logic gates) is _also_ of the latter form, despite its positive construction. Being usable for a logic gate implies an element of control and repeatability, and unlike a statement like "the sky can be blue" a point observation doesn't suffice as proof.
