It likely is a fact, but we don't really know what we mean by "think".
LLMs have illuminated this point from a relatively new direction: we do not know if their mechanism(s) for language generation are similar to our own, or not.
We don't really understand the relationship between "reasoning" and "thinking". We don't really understand the difference between Kahneman's "fast" and "slow" thinking.
Something happens, probably in our brains, that we experience and that seems causally prior to some of our behavior. We call it thinking, but we don't know much about what it actually is.
