I tend to be annoyed whenever I see a paper with a scandalous title like that, because all such papers that I've seen previously were (charitably) bad or (uncharitably) intentionally misleading. Like that infamous Apple paper "The Illusion of Thinking" where the researchers didn't care that the solution for the problem provided (a Towers of Hanoi with N up to 20) couldn't possibly fit in the allotted space.

I checked the paper and got to know that absolutely no reasoning was used for the experiments. So it was as good as using an instant model. We already know that this is necessary to solve anything a bit complicated.

In this case your intuition is completely valid and yet another case of misleading.
