Sure there is a distinction. The two scenarios have two very different
consequences. If you graze the edge of Class B, you may not cause any
disturbance. If you fly directly over the departure end of the
runways, then you would probably close the airport down. But, if you
are truly lost and bust the airspace unintentionally, ASRS doesn't
define a threshold of error within its rules.

Well, I realize there is a distinction safety-wise. But ASRS does
define a threshold of error, doesn't it? The "lack of qualifications or
incompetance" test. It seems you'd be a lot more likely to meet that
test if you cross right over the departure end of the runways without a
clue than if you accidentally bust the edge of the Class Bravo.
