I agree, sorry if that wasn’t clear my point was tank as a term showed up early enough that roles weren’t clear. In other words it wasn’t descriptive or prescriptive.

People essentially defined the roles after the term was in use and then used those roles to redefine Tank. Which is fine, but hardly grounds for getting upset over slightly older and more ambiguous definition of the same word.
