The author knows this and is clarifying that what we mean when we use the words "intelligent" and "thinking" in relation to AI-as-engineering machines is fundamentally different than "thinking" and "intelligent" in the cognitive science sense. That distinction is muddied (not maliciously) in popular discourse about AI but is an important one.
Are you referring to yourself in third person while simultaneously saying that you are clarifying things? Or are you talking about Chomsky?
What? I'm referring to the author of the article I linked (who is not me, and is deceased).
