It's not proof of anything, but it is a way to shift the burden of proof to something that is testable. A good example of this is special relativity. Einstein basically gave a couple of postulates, which are unproven statements, and showed that IF they were correct, then there are certain consequences. But who proved the postulates? Michelson with his interferometer.

Another example is light wave theory. Maxwell proved that IF his equations were correct, light waves are a logical consequence. But proving his equations was another matter.

But then experimental scientists do come in and perform experiments on these things and prove that the postulates are correct to within 0.0000000000001%, and then the scientific community calls it a day.
