Two wrong statements in less than twenty words. Neither of these things are "positive rate".
The ONLY measure for positive rate is a sustained and progressive increase in the altitude displayed on the altimeter.

Well said.
And yet there are STILL airlines out there, that call
positive rate instead of
positive climb.
In addition to your reasoning, inertial vertical speed indicators will show a false positive rate of climb, on rotation.
