Concerning your deconfusion issue, I would say that maybe some things you could try are:
Be very clear about your application. Why do you want to deconfuse these ideas? That might give you some constraint on what the result must look like.
Maybe try the simplest form of handles? I’m quite fond of extensive definitions myself, as they’re easier to create but still quite insightful.
One thing I didn’t touch on in this post is how handle-building is often an iterative process, where you build a crude one that serves you to pinpoint some of the confusion, and then you build a better or different one, over and over again.
Glad you found this helpful!
