I guess as someone who has only seen a few seasons that just seems like a really insignificant difference to me.

This is why it's been muddled over time. It's a small but important detail to the definition.

I guess my thing is I still don't understand why that particular detail is so important when the result is still the same.

Could you not say the same if the player is put up on the block at the nom ceremony and is evicted? The result is the same, they were still evicted.

The answer, though, is because it's a technicality. Backdooring is a process that MUST have these steps play out:
1. Player isn't nominated at the nom ceremony
2. Player doesn't play in the veto comp
3. Player is renominated for eviction
4. Player is evicted

If any one of those doesn't happen, it's not a backdoor. The original backdoor plan followed these same steps and in spite of the rule changes to picking players has always been this way.

The problem is misinformed viewers/players ignore Step 2, despite it being a part of the plan since the start. Through every season it's been the same 4 steps. When one part of it gets foiled, it's no longer technically a backdoor.
