The question was somewhat rhetorical.

The point I was trying to convey was that even though verbs can be used in a noun context, that doesn't really make them nouns.

Similarly functions and objects. There's a certain verbiness to a multiply function that a Cat object doesn't have.

For further consideration: "It rained." What's doing the raining?
