Well, Ronald, how is the DP supposed to move to the Flex?

This is why the term DEFO was more appropriate, but being good Americans everyone had to follow the neighbor. The DEFO could only play defense.

Now is where a few folks are saying, "no, no, no, the Flex/DEFO can bat!" Well, yes and no. The player in the position can bat, but then they are no longer the FLEX/DEFO since that position no longer exists when that player moves into the DP's batting position.
