String theory is finally testable to some extent?

I thought that if it was FALSIFIED in this context, it would be falsified in general. Of course, the other way wouldn't prove that string theory works for anything except that particular case.
But even that I think might be inaccurate: http://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=3127

maybe it's because it's late, because i'm cranky, or because i'm feeling elitist.
but i'm not going to read an opinion about physics on wired.com
i've got to have some scientific standards, right?
edit: ahahaha, i go to the link actually. LOOK THEY ILLUSTRATED STRING THEORY WITH YARN. GET IT? GET IT?
and the article doesn't say much more than the headline. oh well.

"Duff emphasized that this is only a test of string theory as it relates to quantum entanglement, not as a description of the fundamental physics of the universe."
