Unfortunately, not in the slightest.
If that were the issue, we could have focused on teasing that apart, which would have been a non-trivial amount of work but still tractable.
I guess it may seem like the category definition process conflates topics and articles. In actuality, the topics and articles are unified under the covers and differentiated through their external presentation. So it's really just the opposite that's going on. And there are definite reasons for having done it this way, which I delved into a little bit in a different thread pretty recently.
