I'm not sure what Eliezer believes here; the way he talks about causality is why I added the "as I understand it" to the grandparent.
I think that even if it is just in the map we should still call it causality. It's a useful concept and it is similar to the concept of causality we had before we understood these insights. It's expected that when you come to understand something better it won't turn out behave exactly the way you thought it did.
I don't see any insight that causality is on the map not the territory. I think EY's overall point is that supernatural claims can be assesed by the same episetmology as scientific ones.
