Fully agree, but to add some detail....very early designs of automatic transmissions had an oil pump driven off the output shaft of the transmission. These days, automatics only have an oil pump driven off the input shaft (engine side). Thus, with the engine not driving the transmission there is no pressurized oil lubricating the transmission, but only splash lubrication.
