First of all, you've just imagined a scenario, invented a conclusion that you can't prove and justified your distinction on your invented conclusion. Your distinction is no less arbitrary than when this conversation started. Next, you're conflating different things. How many humans are capable of inventing anything at all ? Have you invented anything in your field of expertise? Should i then question everything you do understand bout your field if you haven't ? Do you think understanding is binary ?

Ok, I feel this conversation is not going anywhere. If I see a single example of an LLM generating new theories then I will immediately change my mind. I have yet to see this. Most humans are not capable of inventing things, you're right, but humans in aggregate are. We are comparing LLMs to "humans" here, not to "a human". There are no examples of LLMs doing this. Maybe in a couple of years, who knows.
