> Because that's what makes something a proxy and not a router Ok, I think I've made it clear that a mitm does not have to modify payloads in order to be successful so with that still in mind (since I've hammered that point into the ground thus far)... if, by your own definition, modifying packet payload is a (the) characteristic that would turn a normal router into a proxy, why would you support the theory that the machine that a mitm originates from is anything like a proxy -or- that it is more so like a proxy than a router?

Because that's what makes something a proxy and not a router, and you said '[I can't] see how the computer that the attack originates from could be considered a proxy more so than a router'.
