Seeking clarification on the WR/TE reps (sorry for another Jimmay thread)

I'm a bit confused as to how they designate his snaps at TE vs WR. I am sure that this has been covered here at some point, but I have been busy and unable to keep up on the site lately. The argument is that Jimmay has technically lined up at WR more than at TE. So here's my confusion:
The rule states that he is a TE or WR based on where he is lined up when the ball is snapped. Yes or No?
If yes, does this account for any motions? It is my understanding from a purely observatory view that, although he may have been a WR by the snap of the ball greater than 51% of his plays, he has started out lined up at TE more but has shifted to the WR spot. (I hope that makes sense) It seems to me that the rule does not take into account where he began his formation and only where it ended. If this is the case, then the rule is really poorly contracted.
Anyone with clarity on this?

It makes 0 sense because the dude is a TE and thats the bottom line.
A qb who lines up yards behind the ball is not a rb he is still a qb but in shotgun formation.
A linebacker who walks up to the line does not become a lineman.
Jimmy is a TE

Will Junior Galette be a DE or LB next season when he wants a long term deal is the real question.

Is a tight end who can't block a tight end?

Another way to look at it: how many snaps do real wide receivers line up at TE? Almost never. Jimmy did that a lot.

Well this thread didn't go the way I had hoped. Expected? Unfortunately so
