Exactly. It's easier (not easy, just easier) to perturb or significantly alter our orbit than it is to cause this big shift in Earth's poles by any sort of gravitational or magnetic interaction.
The real giggle is that people think that Earth is suddenly going to be laid over on its side, but that canned food and warm clothing is going to help them survive it...
