You could be correct, but you are assuming something that's not in the text. I don't think this is "overthinking": to spot (to perceive, notice, become aware of) _does not mean_ to "point out" (to show, to tell people)
I checked the dictionary: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/spot https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/spot
"Spot: to see or notice someone or something, usually because you are looking hard." e.g.
"If you _spot_ any mistakes in the article just _mark_ them with a pencil."
If we're talking about "things that the word doesn't mean" then there's a lot of options.
