Those are caused by operating the same lever in a slightly different manner. Not comparable to two completely differently designed levers placed far apart.
Same goes for accidental acceleration instead of braking. Two of the same kind of lever right next to each other.
Accidental acceleration while intending to turn on the wipers would be a fitting example, I don't think that happens though.
You’re just overlaying your mental model.
Think of the action as a stored function. Maybe they’ve always recalled the function as part of a certain list. It can be a case where the lists get confused rather than the modality of input (lever etc)
Then that would be pilot error, and an aggravating error.
