They're not saying it's a causal relationship, but a probability relationship-- are they not?

You're confusing the issue of causation/correlation with the strength of a mathematical relationship. As for Heritage, they are on the policy business; their abstract says the way to decrease poverty is to increase two parent households but offering folk who live in poverty more information so there will be more two parent homes.

It's as clear a causation assertion as you are likely to find. And as clearly wrong as you are likely to find.
