Do you mean conflating rather than confounding?
- its_so_on 15y ago"To fail to distinguish; mix up: confound fiction and fact." "be careful not to conflate gossip with real news" first web hits: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conflate http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conflate http://www.thefreedictionary.com/confound http://www.thefreedictionary.com/confound I think the poster is fine.
- dredmorbius 15y agoNo. Conflating is a combining, which may be positive or negative. Confounding is a combining with the result that the parts combined cannot be distinguished, and such that the result confuses the combined parts.
