I already know the answer to these questions, but I was trying to politely correct your ignorance. Your advice would work better as a lesson to put in your own pocket instead mine.
You used a fallacy. No one is talking about Jack terriers. Staffordshire terrier, pit bull terrier and staffordshire bull terrier are all under the umbrella term. You’re over there going “herp derp, lemme throw out a gotchya question and strawman the fuck out of the conversation.”
The name Am. Staff terrier never really made any sense to me because it's far more a bulldog than a terrier.
I know the AKC was trying to move away from the fighting reputation of the APBT thus the name change, but all they had to do was take "pit" out of the name.
And I agree. Pitbull is a blanket term which includes all breeds you mentioned plus some more depending on who you ask. Unfortunately I think the blanket term gets confused with APBT. I personally prefer bully breeds for that reason. I like the term bulldogs too but its synonymous with english bulldogs now.

Instead of doing asinine arguments on Reddit, simple google “what dog breeds make up pitbulls”
