Yes it's only true if one sees or realizes that. Otherwise, the "observer" is taken to be the self. Continues to be projected as self.
"This is what I think about that thought...." As Krishnamurti said, there is a use for that. It's how we build and create. We need that to function in life. Krishnamurti's question just was, do we need that in all of life? Is there a part of life in which that identification can be discarded?
Thought is like a tool we use to do certain things. Using memory and learned knowledge and all of that. We create with this tool. But then to use it as such, while not identifying with it as self or identity.
