I find it hard to believe that it is possible to confuse the two malfunctions too. It shouldn't be possible.
However, after decades as an instructor and examiner I have had many pilots that have. I believe that when pilots give either malfunction the 'tail rotor' label all too often they opt for the dump the lever option when it's exactly the wrong thing to do.

Crab has experienced the same. Are there any other instructors/examiners out there that have seen this from time to time?
