Isn't the whole idea of the scientific method is that you don't prove things true? You just test things enough until you are not able to prove it false?

  The specific example (computer science) coincidentally does allow for proofs, because it is mostly math, but I think they actually are just using the word prove informally here.

  The incentives of science are often orthogonal to making a career in science.
