That does muddy the waters a little bit (but not enough to make me change my mind
).
My take would be that this rule lists the fielding positions normally used in a game and establishes a convention for identifying them (F1, F2, F3, etc.). It doesn't establish or restrict precisely where on the playing field any fielder might position himself. It doesn't specifically designate or define any of the positions as being "infielders" or "outfielders".
So, if I have to determine which players are "infielders" or "outfielders", I'm going by the definitions of those positions listed under Rule 1.
