Only if you're redefining those two terms away from how they're commonly

Not really, no. I think it's a false dichotomy. The continuum has extremes, but most people lie away from the extremes.
Right, but the terms describe the extremes. Representing those in the middle as belonging to both extremes is absurd.
I think we're getting close to playing semantics. Labeling as one or the other is likely unwise. But still in the middle, a person can sometimes act in either a deletionist or inclusionist mode. So in that sense, Guy is right.
