I think I'm arguing over semantics.

Yeah it is semantics. "Tackle", "guard", "flanker", etc. are words that have no meaning with regard to the rules. What if 10 players line up on the line of scrimmage? What do you call them?
If you're on the end of the line, you're an end. If you're on the LOS and between the ends, then you're a lineman. Everybody else is a back, unless they're lined up illegally (no man's land)
