I think that the misconception lies at your end...

The term "Anamorphic" originates from the anamorphic lenses which were used in film cameras to make it possible to film widescreen movies on traditional 4:3 film material. For DVDs this term has a special meaning, and with the exception of you guys everybody else has agreed on what an anamorphic DVD is. To say that all non-square pixel formats are anamorphic by definition is just ridiculous...
