I think it's more that they're trying to point out the difference between evolution and genetic mutations. Evolution is what occurs on a macroscopic level over a long period of time to organisms. Genetic mutations are what happens on the microscopic level that could play part in the evolution of an organism. That doesn't mean that a genetic mutation implies that the animal has evolved.
And painting a portrait doesn't happen unless you hold a paint brush, that doesn't mean that just holding a paint brush with paint on it is the same as painting the Mona Lisa, you're missing a lot of steps still.
