No. Not at all. You must (using G & Co.) looks at the way arithmetic looks from inside, and if you find the flying pig, then yes, you can say that comp explains the flying pig, but if you see a white rabbit instead (in the arithmetic), you can say that comp does not explain the flying pig, and might be false in case you don't find the white rabbit in nature. This sounds like my sort of science! "One pill makes you larger... And one pill makes you small..."
It's unfortunate that the white rabbit with the frock coat and pocket watch from Alice in Wonderland became shorthand for 'unreal things', and then was further shortened to just "white rabbit" since, in fact, white rabbits are quite common and kept as pets.
