The car paint scenario is not analogous. It would be, if for example you could prove that you only pushed the paint and that pushing the paint couldn't possibly do the things claimed (for example cigarette burns on the seats), then you have a case that you didn't cause the cigarette burns. Same with the current, the magnetic field can only push electrons and because it pushes them in such a way that the force is always perpendicular to motion, it cannot possibly do work on them or on anything else, because it doesn't affect anything else.
