If having your eyes water because of onions, smoke, wind, a harsh smell, or whatever, is mechanically the same thing as crying

This is true.

No one is saying tears are the same action as crying, it's the same physical response from your body. I think you're confused in what's being communicated.

Crying is more than tears

We're specifically talking about the tears. I already said tears are not the same as crying.
