That’s a completely different argument, however, and a good one to have.

I can buy “if you use the forklift you’ll eventually lose the ability to lift weight by yourself”, but the author is going for “the forklift is actually not able to lift anything” which can trivially be proven wrong.

More like, "We had a nice forklift, but the boss got rid of it replaced it with a pack of rabid sled dogs which work sometimes? And sometimes they can also sniff out expiration dates on the food (although the boxes were already labeled?). And, I'm pretty sure one of them, George, understands me when I talk to him because the other day I asked him if he wanted a hotdog and he barked (of course, I was holding a hotdog at the time). But, anyway, we're using the dogs, so they must work? And I used to have to drive the forklift, but the dogs just do stuff without me needing to drive that old forklift"
