I assume you are linguistically correct, but the rules in the stat block are not all inclusive nor hard requirements.  For example, text in the statblock for the basilisk, clay golem, and mummy is all the same.  However, the lore of the basilisk specifically provides another option:Some alchemists are said to know how to process the basilisk’s gullet and the fluids contained within. Properly handled, the gullet produces an oil that can return petrified creatures to flesh and life.The lore of the basilisk tells you there are options outside the statblock. It is telling you it is OK to have a solution other than the statblock. IMO, that applies to all statblocks and lore.</blockquote>
