The parents know the baby is right in some cases, but how does the baby itself know it is right, without actually pushing things around.

The baby is pushing things around, not being an Armchairian. That's what I intended as the point of the video. Causality is one of the earliest things we learn, even before walking and talking, and we learn it by acting and perceiving the effects.
