I thought about confusion as I was writing this post. Confusion shares the property with “slipperiness” of being hard-to-notice. I currently think it’s a different thing, although I agree there’s some similarities.
I think of confusion as a specific phenonema (whereas “Slipperiness” is more of a description of a phenomena). In my language, confusion is when you don’t have an explanation for what’s going on. (Failing to notice you’re confused is an additional thing that can happen to you. Maybe failing to notice that you’re confused is a “slippery” state)
