I would treat Jagex as the authority on this matter since they make the game, and go with Jagex's definition.
Which is!??!???!
Holy mother of god...there really needs to be a reading comprehension test to enter the forums.
I do not understand why you still ignore the fact that the community was just assuming that Rare items are discontinued.
Jagex never confirmed that rare items are discontinued items.
They did bring back rare items, but the items that are labeled as a discontinued items are still not returned.
In the end it all doesn't matter because Jagex is a company and all that matters is money

The relevant question to ask yourself here is, "Why was this assumption made?" That is a rhetorical question, btw. If you've played RS for longer than a decade, the answer is a no-brainer.

And nor did they disconfirm it, or say anything different. Hence OP's assertion (and I agree) that they took advantage of their paying customers by hyping the items as "rare", which if one knows the history of the game, one would have to admit was at the very least associated with the term, "discontinued".

Well, if they can change their minds on releasing what they call "rares", simultaneously changing the meaning of the word as readily understood by players from historical context, and taking advantage of the confusion to make a lot of money, what's to stop them eventually releasing "discontinued" items? Actually, this seems to be a topic percolating in various threads on these forums right now. People are horrified by the possibility. I don't really sympathize. But the only reason it's even a topic at all, is because of the confusion generated by the release of items termed "rare".
I do not actually think old, tradeable, discontinued rares will be brought back. Why? Because my gut tells me that an analysis would tell them that would likely lose them more money than gain from players who would quit over it.

And this is the only statement you got spot on.
