The blog author does not understand the paper. The paper argues people comply because a reason is given. Not because they used the word "because". The paper does not "prove" that the word 'because' is any more special than providing a reason, or using a synonym in general, such as 'since'.
Also saying the paper "proves" something is a misunderstanding of these papers & science in general. The experiments only provide support for a hypothesis, they don't prove it.
