That is in no way contradictory. You seem to be confusing terms.

"Service runs *in* a thread" is NOT the same as "Service *is* a thread",
which was your original claim. Obviously everything that runs is doing so
within some thread in its process, be it the main UI thread or a secondary
dedicated one.

So the idea that a Service is not a thread but does run within one is in no
way a contradiction.
