There's a huge difference. To make ourselves feel better, sure, we can rationalize it, but if you want to get to the nitty-gritty, George dropped the ball, and that's all there is to it.

I agree, Gaffer Tape.
Also, from a purely character-based point of view, Leia doesn't seem to me like the kind of girl that would confuse a vision induced by the force with reality. I just don't consider that to be a reasonable consideration.
