The Banning section says that a site ban may imposed as a consequence of having engaged in sockpuppetry on at least two occasions after an initial indefinite block that is active.

This tells me that until that situation arises, a person with an account that was indefinitely blocked for malfeasance isn't considered site-banned—even though the person is not allowed, under any account or as an IP user, to edit any page on the project. But I thought that that condition was the definition of a site ban. I'm reading it as "If a person's account has been indefinitely blocked for misbehavior, that person is not permitted to edit any page on this project (except perhaps their talk page) under any account or as an IP user and, if they do, they will no longer be permitted to edit any page on this project under any account or as an IP user."
Can someone clarify the difference that I'm not seeing here? And perhaps add this clarification to both WP:Sockpuppetry and WP:Banning policy? Or else, if I'm right and there is no distinction, change the wording in both place to make it clear that the consequence of an indefinite site block for malfeasance is a site ban?
