but I still don't totally agree with distinction as to what constitutes a
flyback transformer

I think it's become a generic term for any line output stage, much like
'hoover'.

What I was objecting to was the word "flyback" used by itself like
that, which is an American infiltration to our language which we must
all guard against. Right?

Right on, brother.

Although a woman I used to work with in monitor repair called them
"flys", which I found even more grating.
