I think we're mis-understanding the term NIT.
NIT is kinda/sorta a synonym for a rock.

Sorry. That is your definition. It is not the 'historical' definition used in poker.
For years, it meant someone who 'nit-picked' the rules, etc. Asked for change of decks or set-ups. Screamed for a player to be picked up when they had been gone 30 minutes and one second.
Quite often their play was of the tight nature you describe.
So when many of the new players into the game saw Bill called a 'nit', they thought it referred to his style of play. And many now think that is what it means. It does not.
