EXAMPLE 1:
* JMJM posts about Chan while Anthony posts about Tantric sex. This
is making a distinction.
* JMJM's posts are better than Anthony's. This is making an

EXAMPLE 2:
* Angelina Jolie plays Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider series. This is
making a distinction.
* Angelina Jolie is a solid 10. This is making an evaluation.
