This is not true. These causal methods generally require you to have a pre established framework for how the thing works. If you cannot supply additional variables that you, with your domain knowledge, know cover the confounding elements, it won’t do anything.
it’s Mathematical soup for trying to normalize out the effects of other variables to see what remains and calling it “causal”.
