Also for the record, the name of the fallacy in the OP is the fallacy of equivocation: assuming that the same word in two different contexts means the same thing (or that two different words mean the same thing).

If it weren't for the fallacy of equivocation, then Necron "Warriors" could use the rules of Dark Eldar "Warriors" (and vice versa), and you could claim that your whole 1500 point "force" is equipped with "force" weapons.

Or equip your Eldar Pathfinders with a mandatory Devilfish transport ala Tau pathfinders.
