Yes, but it also means you knew a lot about the clear text to do this.
I don't think that there is dispute that malleability is an issue in OTPs. What is also not in dispute is that the message itself is secure against decryption absent other knowledge.
The point that is made (and in other posts) is that on its own, OTP isn't enough in most situations - and I agree with that.

I deal with real-world cryptography. I'm not a theoretical or academic cryptographer. If someone deployed an OTP in a system I'm responsible for, I'd escalate until they use an AEAD instead.
