The
fact that someone calls that a 'relay agent' is as weird as saying a
router is an IP 'relay agent'.
That is exactly correct terminology. You can have a router that is not
a DHCP relay agent, and you can have a DHCP relay agent not run on a
router.
I am not really interested in a willy waving competiton with someone who
knows the world always conforms to their conception of it, never the
other way round.
Procotols usually don't have a conception, they have a specification.
And for DHCP, the specification is open for everyone to read. The
problem is that too many people want to talk about the protocol
without having read the specs.
