Exactly right. It is by definition excluded. The question is whether all phenomena can be explained by mechanistic natural processes that are reducible to small scale primitives. Even if something isn't technically supernatural, I think skeptics never seem to consider irreducible natural process that could exist at very high scales, some that may be deduced from conditions within the visible universe even if not directly observable within it.
