I think you answered your own question.

When using a card scraper there is no sole at all, or you could think about it
as a highly disfigured sole that doesn’t even touch the wood.

Your whispy thin shavings can come with the sole just as it already is. Your
iron might not as sharp as you think.

You can remove it from the plane and test it like a card scraper.
