You implied in the previous paragraph that you didn't in fact read it and you only "skimmed" it. Maybe that's why you "found nothing similar to 'stop wasting your time; naval vessels do it all the time". But even in skimming the paper it's incomprehensible how you could miss it: At least the first 23 pages of the draft version I have just describe how well LLMs perform and completely ignores the relevant question of how human language works. (It doesn't get any better after the first 23 pages). So presumably you just don't know what an analogy is and are literally searching for the term "naval vessels".

Here's just one example demonstrating that Piantodosi does in fact claim what Chomsky says he does: Piantodosi writes "The success of large language models is a failure for generative theories because it goes against virtually all of the principles these theories have espoused." Rewriting that statement using Chomsky's analogy illustrates how idiotic the original statement is: "The success of naval vessels is a failure for insect navigation theories because it goes against all of the principles these theories have espoused".
