You're doing very strange things to the analogy. To be closer to the real activities, it's like putting a bunch of red flags under the sign. Nobody (except the city coucil) actually touches the target sign. Nobody actually touches the target website. There is no direct attacking going on.

I don't think we're going to agree on this.

The road is diverted so that people driving on the road can no longer see the sign.....

Google / city council does that. The SEO actor does nothing to the target, only to influence google.
