They don't need to prove it works, they only need to prove that it doesn't.

They don't need to prove it works, they only need to prove that it doesn't. That's related to how defenders need to close all the holes but hackers only need to find one to get in, proving that it doesn't work for a subset of the tests is enough to put a substantial hole in the boat. Proving that it works is a much harder problem that probably only Theranos is willing to finance.
