There are currently at least two pairs like this:

As a person with scientific background, I cannot help but get confused by these titles because they're basically saying the same thing.

What they actually mean seems to be more like X Means Y or X Implies Y — i.e. a one-way rather than two-way relationship. An example of such an unambiguous pair is Good Is Dumb and Dumb Is Good.

They are distinct tropes, so you are confusing them yourself.

Declined.
