Yes, I'd say so. It isn't helpful here to say that a system lacks a theory of mind if it has a mechanism that allows it to make predictions about reported beliefs, intentions, etc.

Cool! This was precisely my concern. It sounded an awful lot like y'all were talking about a system that could make such predictions but somehow lacked a theory of mind. Thanks for clarifying.
