A good LAG is only playing LAG when the situation allows for it. They are a good enough player to recognise when the table dynamic allows them to open a wide range profitably. They are confident they can outplay most if not even all of the players on the table and they are confident that even OOP they still have a significant edge.
The same player may also have a good TAG game when the situation allows for it.
The difference is if somebody identifies themselves as a TAG they are basically saying they have not advanced enough to recognise spots where they can open their range wider.
At least that's how I see it.
