Calling a symbiot a parasite does not make it a parasite.

Given that you know these terms you must be aware we have invented different words for organisms that have mixed effects (positive and negative) on the host organism. Parasite, commensalist and symbiote. If you don't want folks who know these words to argue with you you should not use the wrong ones.

Feel free to find an example of scientific literature referring to hookworms as either commensalist or symbiot in humans.

Feel free to explain how the labels change the facts. Examples of beneficial effects have already been cited from "scientific literature".

The argument was only to point out that just because labels are black & white doesn't mean life is black & white, and treating a label as reality is stupid.

No one went so far as to say "everyone should go get hookworm". That would also be a stupid thing to say, and more to the point: a stupid thing to think anyone was saying.
