Well you see, there's "backstab" wherein the "stabber" yells and smashes an axe into the skull of the guy in front of him, and then there's "backstab", where the stabber plants a knife into the back of the guy in front of him.

And then there's the Dark Messiah "backstab", where you carve a hole right where the neck meets the chest.  Brutal.

Yeah, functionally you can "Backstab" people over the head with your shortsword, and so long as you can overcome the speed penalty imposed by weilding the sword to get close enough without alerting them, they'll go down.  But it's not really the same as using a dagger for an actual stealthy kill.
