You're conflating confirmation with some type of irrefutable proof which is both pedantic and plain wrong.

  The job of people who write titles like this is to be very pedantic about word choice. I’ll have to disagree with you on this being a “plain wrong” interpretation of the given wording.

    It's not the job of the people who write titles to be pedantic although it is reasonable of them to expect most readers to know the difference between confirmation and absolute proof. The problem here is not with the title.

      If they were targeting an adequately scientifically trained audience, sure. I don’t think they are.

        That doesn't have much to do with it, you're just mistaken about the (fairly common) usage 'confirms theory'.
