Yeah, SIU didn't really think the positions and their use through. There are inconsistencies here and there in the use, the method of determining the position(s) of an individual is a mess, and there are fewer and fewer mentions of positions overall.

Ex.: There are those who officially perform two positions at once (e.g., Ha Yurin, Koon Eduan, Apple, etc.), and yet some clearly dual-position individuals have the more dubious position on their profile. How can Enryu be officially only a Spear Bearer, when Maschenny isn't officially recognised as one? And if Maschenny officially doesn't pass for a Spear Bearer, why is Enryu considered anything but a Wave Controller? In fact, why is Enryu recognised as anything but Wave Controller to begin with when--ignoring the other Shinsoo exploits--the lore emphasises the number of Baangs more than the shape those Baangs take anyway. Mess.

If SIU / story simply said that while the positions have some definitions on 2F, they are only meant to facilitate easier planning for team tactics thereafter, then there would be no issue. But since SIU decided to give us definitions and kept on assigning positions to various characters, there is no coming back until the readers forget.

These days, it appears that the only valuable information in the "position" slot are the talents like Wonsulsa, Anima, Dansulsa, etc.
