Most people with theory of mind can’t trivially solve this problem though. So the test doesn’t disprove ToM in general, just that it memorizes some results.

People are capable of theory of mind. That does not mean they're using it. Same is true for reasoning.
People messing up in this puzzle are not confused about the idea that people know things others don't.
Would you care to explain how that responds to my point. I didn't feel the need to specify that ToM can not only be replaced with reasoning, but logic, and my point will still stand.
