Well, we're going to have to do that, since I do seriously disagree. All of the "powerviolence" bands that Rick mentioned in his post were post-hardcore. Post-hardcore is a term for bands that sprung up out of the hardcore movement and went off in other directions (just as post-punk is the same thing withing the wider world of punk). Your effort to limit all that to a handful of bands that play(ed) a particular style is just silly. Powerviolence bands are post-hardcore the same way that punk rock bands are also rock.
As for your "almost positive", it does seem to run counter to what Rick clearly documented as the origin of the term in his post. Could be either or some combination of both though. Legs McNeill and Alan Vega both make convincing cases as to how they were the first to use the term "punk" after all.
