No, I would agree. But if you are happy with any true statement, then
two people living together in the same house are also "sepli".

What I don't like much is "kansa" and "sepli" being contrasted as if
they were antonyms, since they are not quite at the same level. But I
do understand the difficulty of translating this since the comic was
designed to show the contrast between two particular Ceqli words, not
two Lojban words. What you could do is make this about "to'e" instead
of about sepli vs. kansa, and then use "sepsi'u" and "tolsepsi'u" for
the hands and "kansi'u" and "tolkansi'u" for xabju.
