Curious, could you provide an example of a positional move that does not involve tactics?  I thought the two were intertwined.  Not challenging, just asking.

Chess is a game form of Siege Warfare  medieval warfare.  It consists of 3 methods (restrain, blockade, and execute the enemy).  Restraining and  blockading for advantages/disadvantages in  space and time are positional moves only.  Take for  example a weaksquare color complex (can  be  converted to a space/time advantage) with positional moves that eventually result in executing positional/tactical moves.  Another example is a  zugzwang position.  The tempo losing positional move that forces  the opponent to  move and weaken his otherwise impenetrable position.  The  move  after  the weakening move is the positional/tactical  move that  exploits(executes) the  weakness.   Advantages/disadvantages that are exploited(executed) in the form of positional/tactical moves (forks, pins, etc.)

Putting a knight on an outpost square where no other piece or pawn can kick it away, in a closed, slow position. It will lead to tactics eventually, but to know that the move is good, you often don't have to have any specific lines or motifs in mind.

They very much are intertwined, but surely every now and then you will come across moves that really are just positional (or 98% positional or something), or just pure calculation (or 98% calculation or something). Although usually there is a lot more of a mixture so you shouldn't count on that.

Typing that post in large letters seems obviously meant to grab attention away from meaningless and time wasting posts in this thread and redirect it back to discussing chess.  It appears to have somehow also had the (surely unintended) effect of eliciting thoughtless trolling as well.
