I think the distinction is in degrees of confidence, as statistically measured by P values and standard deviations of normal distributions etc. There is an commonly agreed level of confidence which data needs reach, before stating the result as a conclusion.
This confidence level differentiator gets easily lost in natural language descriptions, but is well coded in the mathematics.
