Why, exactly, do experiments enable cause-and-effect conclusions?

Some do and some do not. One cannot always isolate all of the variables, which may only allow a conclusion of correlation (coexistence), which is not the same as cause and effect. If one can observe that a condition only exists following some other condition, to the exclusion of all other potential causes, then cause and effect can be established.
