Indistinguishable from missteps means something that looks just like a mistake, you can’t tell them apart.
Imagine you're playing a game where you have to guess what kind of ball is hidden under a cloth. You pick one, but it turns out it's not the right one. That’s a misstep, a small mistake in your game.
Now imagine that sometimes, even when you don’t make a mistake, the ball still looks just like the wrong one. It’s like someone changed the ball without you noticing. That’s what indistinguishable from missteps means: it's something that looks exactly like a mistake, but maybe it wasn't one at all!
Like a Confused Detective
Think of it like being a detective who finds a clue, but then realizes the clue looked just like a wrong clue. You can’t tell if you made a mistake or if the clue was tricky from the start.
So next time you're trying to figure something out and think you messed up, maybe it’s just a clever trick that looks exactly like a misstep!
