I've never encountered this confusion anywhere, so I wouldn't ever think to dispel it. Which isn't to say that I disagree with the more general point that defining your terms is good thing.

In any case, the post itself (which is not long) illustrates and marks out many of the differences.

I would guess that you're either not around junior engineers, or people are very good at hiding their confusion.

I wouldn't assert that the confusion is non-existent. But I think the audience for a post comparing technical differences between logging and tracing is unlikely a junior one.

But again, I do think the (brief) post marks out the differences throughout, so regardless, it still doesn't strike me as a problem here.
