A related question is “what things might be mistaken for suffering, but are not suffering?” If I find myself in turmoil over a decision, does that mean I haven’t achieved ‘stream entry’, or is that a common occurence post stream entry?
The feeling you get when you accidentally touch a hot object may be mistaken for suffering but is not suffering.
It depends what you mean by “turmoil”. Hitting stream entry doesn’t mean you always know the best course of action to take in all circumstances. As a degenerate example, no amount of meditation will teach you the optimal design for a rocket engine.
