I think this definition is a bit too strict. CAD just means computer aided design. Architects use Rhino to design buildings. You use it to design airplanes. CAD doesn't even have to be 3D.

You could design entirely in notepad.exe, and that would be computer aided design by your definition.
Rather than that definition being too strict, this one is too litteral.
It was perfectly reasonable to characterize the tool as not really CAD, even though a 3d drawing/modelling/rendering/visualizing program is on a computer and is part of a design process.
I'm not gonna argue with you. That's just silly. Have a read here if you want, but I suppose you're just trolling:

Again with the definitions. That thing you just did was what everyone else calls arguing.
