Positive or negative logic is just different ways to view the world. A ring on an input or an output does not represent a physical inverter - just that the signal has inverted logic. Hence, I can add rings on all inputs/outputs on an AND gate and call it a negative-logic OR. It is just words.

And no official definition how an input stage or output stage must be constructed for a chip to be "positive logic" or "negative logic". In this world, it is quite common that problems can be viewed from several directions. That one view is correct does not automatically make another view incorrect.

If a component performs like a positive-logic AND, then it _is_ a positive-logic AND.

If a component performs like a negative_logic OR, then it _is_ a negative-logic OR.

But if a positive-logic AND performs like a negative_logic OR, then such a component is _both_ a positive-logic AND and a negative-logic OR. A rose by any other name...
