Yes, I agree. But note that the same logic applies to human beings too. Just because people say they are using chain-of-thought or tools to come to a certain conclusion, doesn't necessarily mean they are. Philosophers have been grappling with this issue for many centuries :-)

A car can explode, and so can a piñata.

Therefore deciding whether they are interchangeable is a deep question that may take centuries to resolve.

The analogy is meant to show that, while it’s possible to raise deep philosophical questions based on superficial or trivial observations, it can also also be quite silly to do that.
